Declaring the maximum Value of an int

Question

I'm designing a program to draw random boxes inside a JPanel, is there a way to declare an integers max value? The program says it must be a random height and width but I must remain inside the confines of the JPanel.

"declare an integers max value??" what do you mean? – Praneeth Peiris Apr 23 '13 at 14:17 — Praneeth Peiris, Apr 23 '13 at 14:17

Integer.MAX_VALUE

Unless of course you're trying to set a custom max value. Then you would need to read the Random documentation to do something like this.

public class TestingStuff {
  public final int MAX;

  TestingStuff() {    
    Random r = new Random();
    MAX = r.nextInt(Math.abs(r.nextInt()));
    System.out.println(MAX);
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    TestingStuff t = new TestingStuff();    
  }
}

While creating this I had issues declaring MAX as static and initializing it. It would seem that you can either make it static or final.
