How can I detect integer overflow on 32 bits int?

Math.addExact throws exception on overflow

Since Java 8 there is a set of methods in the Math class:

  • toIntExact(long)
  • addExact(int,int)
  • subtractExact(int,int)
  • multiplyExact(int,int)

…and versions for long as well.

Each of these methods throws ArithmeticException if overflow happens. Otherwise they return the proper result if it fits within the range.

Example of addition:

int x = 2_000_000_000;
int y = 1_000_000_000;
try {
    int result = Math.addExact(x, y);
    System.out.println("The proper result is " + result);
} catch(ArithmeticException e) {
    System.out.println("Sorry, " + e);
}

Sorry, java.lang.ArithmeticException: integer overflow
