hi rakul,
Those are constants containing the minimum and maximum value an integer can hold.
MIN_VALUE = -2147483648 = -2^31
MAX_VALUE = 2147483647 = 2^31 - 1

They could be used for exceptions or something to make sure that an number doesn't exceed its maximum range for its particular primitive data type.
