Associativity math: (a + b) + c != a + (b + c)

On the range of the double type:

double dbl1 = (double.MinValue + double.MaxValue) + double.MaxValue;
double dbl2 = double.MinValue + (double.MaxValue + double.MaxValue);

The first one is double.MaxValue, the second one is double.Infinity

On the precision of the double type:

double dbl1 = (double.MinValue + double.MaxValue) + double.Epsilon;
double dbl2 = double.MinValue + (double.MaxValue + double.Epsilon);

Now dbl1 == double.Epsilon, while dbl2 == 0.

And on literally reading the question 🙂

In checked mode:

checked
{
    int i1 = (int.MinValue + int.MaxValue) + int.MaxValue;
}

i1 is int.MaxValue

checked
{
    int temp = int.MaxValue;
    int i2 = int.MinValue + (temp + temp);
}

(note the use of the temp variable, otherwise the compiler will give an error directly… Technically even this would be a different result 🙂 Compiles correctly vs doesn’t compile)

this throws an OverflowException… The results are different 🙂 (int.MaxValue vs Exception)
