Feb 14, 2020 · The strict equivalent of the java int is long int in C. Edit: If int32_t is defined, then it is the equivalent in terms of precision. long int guarantee the precision of the java int, because it is guarantee to be at least 32 bits in size.

Feb 27, 2011 · The results are specified by the language and independent of the JVM version: Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1 == Integer.MIN_VALUE and Integer.MIN_VALUE - 1 == Integer.MAX_VALUE. The same goes for the other integer types.

Jun 7, 2015 · Instead of initializing the variables with arbitrary values (for example int smallest = 9999, largest = 0) it is safer to initialize the variables with the largest and smallest values representable by that number type (that is int smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE, largest = Integer.MIN_VALUE).

Jan 19, 2016 · Returning Integer.MAX_VALUE is nice if you certainly know that a number cannot possible be that high. I often use -1 as return value if an int cannot be negative, but if it can you need to think of something else, which would be using MAX_VALUE then.

Feb 22, 2012 · When you add 1 to the max value of a two's complement number you get the min value. Honestly, all integers behaved this way before java existed, and changing this behavior for the Java language would have added more overhead to integer math, and confused programmers coming from other languages.

Jun 16, 2014 · I am a newbie in programming. I was studying from a Java object programming book and performing the tutorials and examples on the book simultaneously on computer. In the book it says that the maximum and minimum value of integers are; Integer.MAX_VALUE = 2147483647 Integer.MIN_VALUE = -2147483648

Jul 17, 2019 · To get max value you actually have to calculate the sum of 2^n with n from 0 to 31 or simpler 2^32 - 1 and you'll get '4294967295' as max for unsigned int, one less than anticipated. Now do the same with 2^31 - 1 for signed int and you'll get 2,147,483,647.

Sep 28, 2013 · From java documentation int has a minimum value of -2,147,483,648 and a maximum value of 2,147,483,647 (inclusive).

Integer.MAX_VALUE and MIN_VALUE are the largest/smallest values representable with an int. That's the point: you can't have an int with lesser or greater values. If you want to hold and test against lesser or greater values, you'll need to use a long .

May 13, 2018 · Why is 2,147,483,647 the max int value? ... Because the total value an int can hold in Java is 2^32 (2 to ...
