Will it result right or not?

When we take 2 integer types of variables, it reserved memory of 2 bytes both and then we declare third variable of int type to store the addition of first both and if the sum both is high then 2 bytes then what will happen?

It sounds like you are describing integer overflow. In the event that an integer variable assigned a value that exceeds its range, the new value will switch over to the opposite extreme. For example, the integer range is between -2147483648 and 2147483647. If an integer variable is assigned a value equal to max value + 1, the assigned value will be the min value. Here is some code I just wrote to demonstrate this: https://code.sololearn.com/cocB0xRzq6MW/#cpp Here is a good article explaining this concept further. http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Integer_overflow
