Check for integer overflow on multiplication

Given two integer a and b, find whether their product (a x b) exceed the signed 64 bit integer or not. If it exceed print Yes else print No.

Examples:

Input : a = 100, b = 200
Output : No

Input : a = 10000000000, b = -10000000000
Output : Yes

Approach :

If either of the number is 0, then it will never exceed the range.
Else if the product of the two divided by one equals the other, then also it will be in range.
In any other case overflow will occur.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// CPP program to check for integer
// overflow on multiplication
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to check whether there is
// overflow in a * b or not. It returns
// true if there is overflow.
bool isOverflow(long long a, long long b)
{
    // Check if either of them is zero
    if (a == 0 || b == 0) 
        return false;
    
    long long result = a * b;
    if (a == result / b)
        return false;
    else
        return true;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    long long a = 10000000000, b = -10000000000;
    if (isOverflow(a, b))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
    return 0;
}

Java

public class GfG{
    
    // Function to check whether there is
    // overflow in a * b or not. It 
    // returns true if there is overflow.
    static Boolean isOverflow( long a, long b)
    {
        // Check if either of them is zero
        if (a == 0 || b == 0) 
            return false;
    
        long result = a * b;
        if (a == result / b)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    
    // driver function
    public static void main(String argc[])
    {
        long a = Long.parseLong("10000000000");
        long b = Long.parseLong("-10000000000"); 
        
        if (isOverflow(a, b))
        System.out.print("Yes");
    else
        System.out.print("No");
    }
}
