In java ,no overflow or underflow of integers happens i.e., the values wrap around.Adding 1 to the maximum int value results in the minimum value

In java there is no point of overflow and underflow, it was there in C. For avoiding that java introduces type casting.

Java will allow some more space from the defult space of primtive type.
