The condition known as <u>overflow</u> occurs when you try to store an integer that is bigger than the maximum allowed by the number of bits you have.

<h3>What is a buffer?</h3>

In Computer science, a buffer can be defined as a temporary area set aside on a computer system for the storage of data. This ultimately implies that, a buffer reside in the random access memory (RAM) of a computer system.

In the event that a computer system process or software program places more data (much more than what was originally intended to be allocated for data storage) in a buffer, the extra data overflows.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that when a value is assigned to an integer that is too big or large for the computer to represent, it is a condition referred to as an overflow.
