setText() needs a String argument: so you would use "0", not 0.For a more complex solution consider JFormatedTextField. There some code here: http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.swing.text/formtext_FormTextNum.html

The Math class has a method abs() that does this:int account = -100;

// now account will be 100

account = Math.abs(account);

// or you could use an if statement...

// but I'm sure you have thought of that!

if(account < 0) account = -account;

If you don't want to actually change the value of account - if you just want to print it:System.out.printf("The absolute value of account is %d%n", Math.abs(account));
