Hello,

This is for you.

public class CustomNumberType extends Number{

	public double doubleValue() {
		return 0;
	}

	public float floatValue() {
		return 0;
	}

	public int intValue() {
		return 0;
	}

	public long longValue() {
		return 0;
	}

}

Implement your logic in this class.

Then write a method that:

if value is negative return "empty String"
else return the value

You need to explain your problem better and show some code
