        Integer min = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        String minHex = Integer.toHexString(Integer.MIN_VA         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

public class Main3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Integer min = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        String minHex = Integer.toHexString(Integer.MIN_VALUE);

        System.out.println(min + " " + minHex);
        System.out.println(Integer.parseInt( "-" + minHex, 16));
    }

}

to get this:
