B Brett Jun 30, 2005 #1 Why would you not want to use checked on any type of mathematical operation? Or use unchecked for that matter? Thanks, Brett

In addition to which, I believe unchecked operation can be significantly faster - it could make a huge difference in an app which is heavy on calculations.

Unchecked effectively does a modulus operation for free. This is useful in some mathematical applications. rossum The ultimate truth is that there is no ultimate truth
