Consider the following two function definitions:

    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }
    
    
    int add(int a, int b) {
        if ((a > 0 && b > 0) && (INT_MAX - a < b)) {
            return INT_MIN + (b - (INT_MAX - a + 1));
        } else if ((a < 0 && b < 0) && (INT_MIN - a > b)) {
            return INT_MAX + (b - (INT_MIN - a - 1));
        } else {
            return a + b;
        }
    }

Which one expresses the intent more simply and understandably?

Which one is more robust?

Which one would you bet the future of your company on?

I offer that, sometimes, simplicity of expression is at odds with protection against edge cases.
