In this challenge, your task is to implement a function that is **guaranteed not to throw exceptions**. Specifically, you need to write a function named `add` that takes two integers as arguments, returns their sum, and is explicitly declared as `noexcept`.

This declaration tells the compiler and other programmers that `add` will not throw any exceptions under any circumstances. Functions like this are useful in **performance-critical code** or when you want to ensure **exception safety** in larger programs.


#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include <catch2/catch.hpp>


int add(int a, int b) noexcept;

TEST_CASE("add returns correct sum for positive numbers", "[add]") {
    REQUIRE(add(2, 3) == 5);
}

TEST_CASE("add returns correct sum for negative numbers", "[add]") {
    REQUIRE(add(-5, -3) == -8);
}

TEST_CASE("add returns correct sum for mixed sign numbers", "[add]") {
    REQUIRE(add(-5, 5) == 0);
}

TEST_CASE("add returns correct sum for large numbers", "[add]") {
    REQUIRE(add(100000, 200000) == 300000);
}

TEST_CASE("add is noexcept", "[add]") {
    // This test will fail to compile if add is not noexcept
    static_assert(noexcept(add(1, 2)), "add must be noexcept");
    REQUIRE(true);
}
