C# int.MaxValue Oddity

Be careful passing int.MaxValue to a method that may use the parameter value in a conditional expression.

The following code snippet will print False when clearly 0 (zero) should be less than int.MaxValue * 2:

Console.WriteLine("{0}", yep(int.MaxValue ));

private bool yep( int val )
{
    return ( 0 < val * 2);
}
