    Small correction if I may.
    Subtracting 0 - 1 and ending up with a big number is just a negative overflow, it's still an overflow.
    An underflow is when you get a super small decimal number (e.g. 0.00...1) that it cannot store the digits due to technical limitations so it just rounds down to 0.
