java.lang.Long.intValue() or casting long to int

Problem:

public static void main(String args[]) {

Long l = Long.MAX_VALUE;

System.out.println(l.longValue());

System.out.println(l.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l2 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

System.out.println(l2.longValue());

System.out.println(l2.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l3 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE) + 1;

System.out.println(l3.longValue());

System.out.println(l3.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l4 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE) + 2;

System.out.println(l4.longValue());

System.out.println(l4.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l5 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE) + Integer.MAX_VALUE;

System.out.println(l5.longValue());

System.out.println(l5.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l6 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE) + Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1;

System.out.println(l6.longValue());

System.out.println(l6.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");

Long l7 = Long.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE) + Integer.MAX_VALUE + 2;

System.out.println(l7.longValue());

System.out.println(l7.intValue());

System.out.println("---------------\n");
