Working with Int16 data I’m getting negative values when squaring data: a = -750; a^2 562500 a = Int16(a); a^2 -27324 I get that Int16(a)^2 produces a value that is out of the range of an Int16 but I don’t get why an error isn’t thrown when the solution is out of range or why the function doe…

X.^2 - how can something so basic be so wrong
