How to detect unsigned integer overflow in C++?

Hello everyone! I'm a beginner C++ developer and I've encountered a problem with unsigned integer overflow. I'm writing a program for processing data from sensors, where values can be large. I'm using `unsigned int` to store counters, but I noticed that sometimes the program behaves strangely. Here's an example code that confuses me: ```cpp #include int main() { unsigned int a = 4294967295; // maximum value for unsigned int unsigned int b = 1; unsigned int result = a + b; std::cout << "a + b = " << result << std::endl; // Outputs 0, but I expected an error return 0; } ``` I know that in C++, signed integer overflow is undefined behavior (UB). But what about unsigned? The standard says that unsigned overflow "wraps
