use long instead of int to deal with larger values

long sum is enough + you can check overflow this way: int sum=0, x=0; // int for this test, long is better try { for (x = 0 ; x <=new1 ; ++x){ // sum = sum + x ; sum = Math.addExact(sum, x); } } catch (ArithmeticException e) { System.out.println("Numeric overflow" +" x = " +x); } System.out.println("sum = "+sum);

int data type has a limit(2^31-1) All data types have a limit So for huge numbers use long or double data type
