This doesn’t need to use <code>[Math.addExact](<var>currentDepth</var>, <var>rank</var>)</code>, as <code><var>currentDepth</var></code> will always be in [0, 255], and <code><var>rank</var></code> here is confined to [1, 2<sup>31</sup>-1], so it’s possible to check for <code><var>netRank</var> < 0</code> and use <code>[Integer.toUnsignedString](<var>netRank</var>)</code> (or <code>[Integer.toUnsignedLong](<var>netRank</var>)</code> and let <code>[StringConcatFactory]</code> deal with it):

Suggestion:

            netRank = currentDepth + rank;
            if (netRank > ConstantUtils.MAX_ARRAY_TYPE_DESC_DIMENSIONS || netRank < 0) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("rank: " + Integer.toUnsignedLong(netRank) +
