Overflow of DataTypes in Java
Overflow occurs when the given value is more than the maximum prescribed size of a data type. The overflow condition can result to an error or now the implementation of the programming language handles it on its own.
To display overflow of datatypes, I have taken an example of float datatype. Float data type is a single-precision 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point.
The range of a float datatype is −
approximately ±3.40282347E+38F
The following program display overflow of datatypes in Java.
Example
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Displaying Overflow... ");
float val1 = 3.3976835E38f;
System.out.println(val1 * 25f);
}
}Output
Displaying Overflow... Infinity
In the above program, the float variable is initialized to.
float val1 = 3.3976835E38f;
After that, multiplication operation is performed on it to check for overflow.
val1 * 25f;
Since it extends the maximum range, “Infinity” is returned as the output.
