The minimum and maximum float values are converted to minimum 0 and maximum int values (0x80000000 and 0x7fffffff respectively). The resulting short values are 0 and the lower 16 bits of these values this value (0x0000 and 0xffff). The resulting final values (0 and −1) might be unexpected.

This compliant solution range-checks both the i and j variables before converting to the resulting integer type. Because both values are the maximum value is out of the valid range for a short, this code will always throw an ArithmeticException.
