## Arithmetic
Numbers are type-compatible:
Pure integer operations will always return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one floating point number return a floating point number.
Numbers will retain their type unless mixed with other numeric types:
Pure integer operations will always return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one floating point number returns a floating point number.
Evaluation of the following numeric operations throws an evaluation error:
- Division by zero
- Integer overflow, that is, any operation yielding a result outside of the representable range of [Nix language integers](./syntax.md#number-literal)
