take a look at the Math.abs (java.lang.Math) method, for starters.

Just try the abs() method for those values means you can check for negative values and than break the loop for every minus value and pass that to abs method you'll get the number without minus sign.

Use:

CODE
String num = "";
if (number<0){
    num = "["+Math.abs(number)+"]";
}
else{
    num = String.valueOf(number);
}


Hope this helps.
