les say i have a map:

//my map is biiger but this is just a ex.

int map[][] = {{1, 1, 1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},   
               {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}};
    int camera_pos_x = 0;
    int camera_pos_y = 0;
    int camera_speed = 4; 
    int tile_size = 32;  //width and height same

now to move the camera i can do this:

if(left)
{
    camera_pos_x += camera_speed;
}
if(right)
{
    camera_pos_x -= camera_speed;
}

than i can print the map:

for(...)
{
    for(...)
    {
         if (map[y][x] == 1) 
         {
           g.setColor(Color.green);
       g.fillRect(x * tile_size - camera_pos_x,
                     y * tile_size - camera_pos_y, tile_size, tile_size); 
         }
    }
}

1st question is that is how we get the mapwidth and map height? i am not sure if i need to do * tile_size.

private int map_width = map.length * tile_size;
private int map_height = map[0].length * tile_size;

camera collsion
if user hold down left key map keep on moving right. and its moves too much and u can see while background at bottom. and the way i fix this problem was:

if(camera_pos_x < 0)
    {
        camera_pos_x = 0;
    }

this way camera cant go lower than 0.

2nd question is that how can i fix the same problem other way?
i tried this but didnt work:

if(camera_pos_x > map_width - m.getWINDOW_WIDTH())
        {
            //camera_pos_x = map_width - m.getWINDOW_WIDTH();
        }

i dont what wrong with my logic.

got it

private int map_width = map.length * tile_size;
private int map_height = map[0].length * tile_size;

where wrong, its

private int map_height = map.length * tile_size;
    private int map_width = map[0].length * tile_size;
