java max(int integer),如何在不使用Integer类的情况下获取Java中Integer.MAX_VALUE的值

I have this question that has completely stumped me.

I have to create a variable that equals Integer.MAX_VALUE... (in Java)

// The answer must contain balanced parentesis

public class Exercise{

public static void main(String [] arg){

[???]

assert (Integer.MAX_VALUE==i);

}

}

The challenge is that the source code cannot contain the words "Integer", "Float", "Double" or any digits (0 - 9).

解决方案

Here's a succinct method:

int ONE = "x".length();

int i = -ONE >>> ONE; //unsigned shift

This works because the max integer value in binary is all ones, except the top (sign) bit, which is zero. But -1 in twos compliment binary is all ones, so by bit shifting -1 one bit to the right, you get the max value.

11111111111111111111111111111111 // -1 in twos compliment

01111111111111111111111111111111 // max int (2147483647)
