C# Programming/Keywords/unchecked

The unchecked keyword prevents overflow-checking when doing integer arithmetics. It may be used as an operator on a single expression or as a statement on a whole block of code.

int x, y, z;
x = 1222111000;
y = 1222111000;

// used as an operator
z = unchecked(x*y);

// used as a statement
unchecked {
  z = x*y;
  x = z*z;
}
