Initialize class level constant integer with negative values

[Former Member]

Hi,

While initializing constant integer with -1, the actual value while calling the setter with this value is set to 1-

Even in the debugger when i view the value its 1-

Has anybody come across similar proglem? Any help?

Thanks,

There will be no issue due to this , as it will always be considered as -1.

It is just representation inside the system.

Hi Piyush,

No problem. This is an internal system representation. The value would be -1 only. You may need to check how it shows in your output.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is i'm creating a XML out of this constant and when this value is assigned to a string, the string value is represented as "1-" and further with this value the XML is created.

Can i try something else here?

Thanks,

The class level constant is defined with data type "i", is it correct?

Do i need to change this if i have to assign value -1.
