1. minLength < 0 means that there is an overflow in the preceding
addition, so the error's message is correct.
2. + 3. hugeLength() is only ever invoked by the newLength() method just
above. The javadoc spec of that method is quite clear about what
newLength(), and thus hugeLength(), are expected to return and to throw.
The interplay between these methods implements the spec correctly.

After analysing the method declaration carefully I realized some bugs in
the code:
1.the if condition on seeing min length as less than 0 returns out of
memory error with a message that "required length is too large" which is
contradictory to what we are checking in the condition.
2. We should actually return the out of memory error when it exceeds the
SOFT_ARRAY_MAX_LENGTH.
3. Moreover we are returning minLength in the third condition when we
actually shouldn't because it exceeds the limit
Kindly verify this.
