The sole modification implemented in the contract involves altering the Solidity version number.

### Functions

#### add

*returns the sum of \_x and \_y, reverts if the calculation overflows*

```solidity
function add(uint _x, uint _y) internal pure returns (uint);
```

**Parameters**

| Name | Type      | Description |

**Returns**

| Name     | Type      | Description |
| -------- | --------- | ----------- |
| `<none>` | `uint256` | sum         |

#### sub

*returns the difference of \_x minus \_y, reverts if the calculation underflows*

```solidity
function sub(uint _x, uint _y) internal pure returns (uint);
```

**Parameters**

| Name | Type      | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ----------- |

| `<none>` | `uint256` | difference  |

#### mul

*returns the product of multiplying \_x by \_y, reverts if the calculation overflows*

```solidity
function mul(uint _x, uint _y) internal pure returns (uint);
```

**Parameters**

**Returns**

| Name     | Type      | Description |
| -------- | --------- | ----------- |
| `<none>` | `uint256` | product     |

#### div

*Integer division of two numbers truncating the quotient, reverts on division by zero.*

```solidity
function div(uint _x, uint _y) internal pure returns (uint);
```

**Parameters**

| Name | Type      | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ----------- |
| `_x` | `uint256` | dividend    |
| `_y` | `uint256` | divisor     |
