This is the strength of typing, right?

If I can specify the type of my input I can ensure the verification.

How so? If you specify the type int how would that save you from an overflow/underflow at runtime?

Not sure if types are supposed to protect against overflow/underflow, it's more in the arithmetic territory. Interesting idea though, I wonder if some programming language allows overflow/underflow checks directly in the types.
