What is the maximum value for an int32

Question

I can never remember the number  I need a memory rule

User · Answer

Int32 means you have 32 bits available to store your number. The highest bit is the sign-bit, this indicates if the number is positive or negative. So you have 2^31 bits for positive and negative numbers.

With zero being a positive number you get the logical range of (mentioned before)

+2147483647 to -2147483648

If you think that is to small, use Int64:

+9223372036854775807 to -9223372036854775808

And why the hell you want to remember this number? To use in your code? You should always use Int32.MaxValue or Int32.MinValue in your code since these are static values (within the .net core) and thus faster in use than creating a new int with code.

My statement: if know this number by memory.. you're just showing off!

In general you could do a simple operation which reflects the very nature of a Int32  fill all the available bits with 1 s - That is something which you can hold easily in your memory  It works basically the same way in most languages  but i m going with Python for the example   max   0 bits    1    31   Generate a  bit array  filled with 1 s for bit in bits      max    max  lt  lt  1    bit   max is now 2147483647   For unsigned Int32 s  make it 32 instead of 31 1 s   But since there are posted a few more adventurous approaches  i began to think of formulas  just for the fun of it     Formula 1  Numbers are concatenated if no operator is given    a   4 b   8 ba a ab-1 ab ab-a-b ab-1   Python quickcheck  a   4 b   8 ab   int   d d     a  b   ba   int   d d     b  a     d d d d d     ba a  ab-1  ab  ab-a-b  ab-1    gives  2147483647    Formula 2   x   48 x 2-3 x-1 x x 3 4 x-1   Python quickcheck  x   48   d d d d d     x 2-3  x-1  x  x 3 4  x-1     gives  2147483647

It s about 2 1   10 9  No need to know the exact 2  31  - 1   2 147 483 647   C  You can find it in C like that    include  lt stdio h gt   include  lt limits h gt   main         printf  max int  t t i n   INT MAX       printf  max unsigned int  t u n   UINT MAX       gives  well  without the     max int           2 147 483 647 max unsigned int  4 294 967 295   C   11  std  cout  lt  lt  std  numeric limits lt int gt   max    lt  lt    n   std  cout  lt  lt  std  numeric limits lt unsigned int gt   max    lt  lt    n     Java  You can get this with Java  too   System out println Integer MAX VALUE     But keep in mind that Java integers are always signed   Python 2  Python has arbitrary precision integers  But in Python 2  they are mapped to C integers  So you can do this   import sys sys maxint  gt  gt  gt  2147483647 sys maxint   1  gt  gt  gt  2147483648L   So Python switches to long when the integer gets bigger than 2 31 -1

It s 231  minus  1  32 bits  one is used for sign    If you want an approximate value  use 210   1024  asymp  103  so 231  asymp  2 109  If you want to compute an exact value by hand  use exponentiation by squaring to get to 232   2 25  and divide by two  You only need to square five times to get 232   2 2   4 4 4   16 16 16   256 256 256   25 25 100   2 250 6   36   62500   3000   36   65536 65536 65536  65000 65000   2 65000 536   536 536     4225000000   130000 536    250000   3600   36 36    4225000000   69680000   250000   3600   1296   4294967296   dividing this by two and subtracting one gives you 2 147 483 647  If you don t need all digits  but only want say  the first three significant digits  the computations on each squaring step are very easy

The easiest way to do this for integers is to use hexadecimal  provided that there isn t something like Int maxInt    The reason is this   Max unsigned values  8-bit 0xFF 16-bit 0xFFFF 32-bit 0xFFFFFFFF 64-bit 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 128-bit 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF   Signed values  using 7F as the max signed value  8-bit 0x7F 16-bit 0x7FFF 32-bit 0x7FFFFFFF 64-bit 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF   Signed values  using 80 as the max signed value  8-bit 0x80 16-bit 0x8000 32-bit 0x80000000 64-bit 0x8000000000000000   How does this work  This is very similar to the binary tactic  and each hex digit is exactly 4 bits  Also  a lot of compilers support hex a lot better than they support binary    F hex to binary  1111 8 hex to binary  1000 7 hex to binary  0111 0 hex to binary  0000   So 7F is equal to 01111111   7FFF is equal to 0111111111111111  Also  if you are using this for  insanely-high constant   7F    is safe hex  but it s easy enough to try out 7F and 80 and just print them to your screen to see which one it is   0x7FFF   0x0001   0x8000  so your loss is only one number  so using 0x7F    usually isn t a bad tradeoff for more reliable code  especially once you start using 32-bits or more

Well  aside from jokes  if you re really looking for a useful memory rule  there is one that I always use for remembering big numbers   You need to break down your number into parts from 3-4 digits and remember them visually using projection on your cell phone keyboard  It s easier to show on a picture     As you can see  from now on you just have to remember 3 shapes  2 of them looks like a Tetris L and one looks like a tick  Which is definitely much easier than memorizing a 10-digit number   When you need to recall the number just recall the shapes  imagine look on a phone keyboard and project the shapes on it  Perhaps initially you ll have to look at the keyboard but after just a bit of practice  you ll remember that numbers are going from top-left to bottom-right so you will be able to simply imagine it in your head   Just make sure you remember the direction of shapes and the number of digits in each shape  for instance  in 2147483647 example we have a 4-digit Tetris L and a 3-digit L    You can use this technique to easily remember any important numbers  for instance  I remembered my 16-digit credit card number etc

It s 231  minus  1  32 bits  one is used for sign    If you want an approximate value  use 210   1024  asymp  103  so 231  asymp  2 109  If you want to compute an exact value by hand  use exponentiation by squaring to get to 232   2 25  and divide by two  You only need to square five times to get 232   2 2   4 4 4   16 16 16   256 256 256   25 25 100   2 250 6   36   62500   3000   36   65536 65536 65536  65000 65000   2 65000 536   536 536     4225000000   130000 536    250000   3600   36 36    4225000000   69680000   250000   3600   1296   4294967296   dividing this by two and subtracting one gives you 2 147 483 647  If you don t need all digits  but only want say  the first three significant digits  the computations on each squaring step are very easy

In general you could do a simple operation which reflects the very nature of a Int32  fill all the available bits with 1 s - That is something which you can hold easily in your memory  It works basically the same way in most languages  but i m going with Python for the example   max   0 bits    1    31   Generate a  bit array  filled with 1 s for bit in bits      max    max  lt  lt  1    bit   max is now 2147483647   For unsigned Int32 s  make it 32 instead of 31 1 s   But since there are posted a few more adventurous approaches  i began to think of formulas  just for the fun of it     Formula 1  Numbers are concatenated if no operator is given    a   4 b   8 ba a ab-1 ab ab-a-b ab-1   Python quickcheck  a   4 b   8 ab   int   d d     a  b   ba   int   d d     b  a     d d d d d     ba a  ab-1  ab  ab-a-b  ab-1    gives  2147483647    Formula 2   x   48 x 2-3 x-1 x x 3 4 x-1   Python quickcheck  x   48   d d d d d     x 2-3  x-1  x  x 3 4  x-1     gives  2147483647

Int32 means you have 32 bits available to store your number. The highest bit is the sign-bit, this indicates if the number is positive or negative. So you have 2^31 bits for positive and negative numbers.

With zero being a positive number you get the logical range of (mentioned before)

+2147483647 to -2147483648

If you think that is to small, use Int64:

+9223372036854775807 to -9223372036854775808

And why the hell you want to remember this number? To use in your code? You should always use Int32.MaxValue or Int32.MinValue in your code since these are static values (within the .net core) and thus faster in use than creating a new int with code.

My statement: if know this number by memory.. you're just showing off!

The easiest way to do this for integers is to use hexadecimal  provided that there isn t something like Int maxInt    The reason is this   Max unsigned values  8-bit 0xFF 16-bit 0xFFFF 32-bit 0xFFFFFFFF 64-bit 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 128-bit 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF   Signed values  using 7F as the max signed value  8-bit 0x7F 16-bit 0x7FFF 32-bit 0x7FFFFFFF 64-bit 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF   Signed values  using 80 as the max signed value  8-bit 0x80 16-bit 0x8000 32-bit 0x80000000 64-bit 0x8000000000000000   How does this work  This is very similar to the binary tactic  and each hex digit is exactly 4 bits  Also  a lot of compilers support hex a lot better than they support binary    F hex to binary  1111 8 hex to binary  1000 7 hex to binary  0111 0 hex to binary  0000   So 7F is equal to 01111111   7FFF is equal to 0111111111111111  Also  if you are using this for  insanely-high constant   7F    is safe hex  but it s easy enough to try out 7F and 80 and just print them to your screen to see which one it is   0x7FFF   0x0001   0x8000  so your loss is only one number  so using 0x7F    usually isn t a bad tradeoff for more reliable code  especially once you start using 32-bits or more

Well  aside from jokes  if you re really looking for a useful memory rule  there is one that I always use for remembering big numbers   You need to break down your number into parts from 3-4 digits and remember them visually using projection on your cell phone keyboard  It s easier to show on a picture     As you can see  from now on you just have to remember 3 shapes  2 of them looks like a Tetris L and one looks like a tick  Which is definitely much easier than memorizing a 10-digit number   When you need to recall the number just recall the shapes  imagine look on a phone keyboard and project the shapes on it  Perhaps initially you ll have to look at the keyboard but after just a bit of practice  you ll remember that numbers are going from top-left to bottom-right so you will be able to simply imagine it in your head   Just make sure you remember the direction of shapes and the number of digits in each shape  for instance  in 2147483647 example we have a 4-digit Tetris L and a 3-digit L    You can use this technique to easily remember any important numbers  for instance  I remembered my 16-digit credit card number etc

Well  it has 32 bits and hence can store 2 32 different values  Half of those are negative   The solution is 2 147 483 647  And the lowest is -2 147 483 648    Notice that there is one more negative value

Rather than think of it as one big number  try breaking it down and looking for associated ideas eg    2 maximum snooker breaks  a maximum break is 147  4 years  48 months  3 years  36 months  4 years  48 months    The above applies to the biggest negative number  positive is that minus one   Maybe the above breakdown will be no more memorable for you  it s hardly exciting is it    but hopefully you can come up with some ideas that are

Just remember that 2  10 x  is approximately 10  3 x  - you re probably already used to this with kilobytes kibibytes etc   That is   2 10   1024                   one thousand 2 20   1024 2   1048576       one million 2 30   1024 3   1073741824    one billion   Since an int uses 31 bits     1 bit for the sign   just double 2 30 to get approximately 2 billion   For an unsigned int using 32 bits  double again for 4 billion   The error factor gets higher the larger you go of course  but you don t need the exact value memorised  If you need it  you should be using a pre-defined constant for it anyway    The approximate value is good enough for noticing when something might be a dangerously close to overflowing

First write out 47 twice   you like Agent 47  right    keeping spaces as shown  each dash is a slot for a single digit  First 2 slots  then 4   --47----47   Think you have 12 in hand  because 12   a dozen   Multiply it by 4  first digit of Agent 47 s number  i e  47  and place the result to the right of first pair you already have  12   4   48 --4748--47  lt -- after placing 48 to the right of first 47   Then multiply 12 by 3  in order to make second digit of Agent 47 s number  which is 7  you need 7 - 4   3  and put the result to the right of the first 2 pairs  the last pair-slot  12   3   36 --47483647  lt -- after placing 36 to the right of first two pairs   Finally drag digits one by one from your hand starting from right-most digit  2 in this case  and place them in the first empty slot you get  2-47483647  lt -- after placing 2 2147483647  lt -- after placing 1   There you have it  For negative limit  you can think of that as 1 more in absolute value than the positive limit   Practise a few times  and you will get the hang of it

That s how I remembered 2147483647    214 - because 2 14 is approximately pi-1 48   6 8 64   8 8   Write these horizontally   214 48 64  and insert                7  3  7 - which is Boeing s airliner jet  thanks  sgorozco    Now you ve got 2147483647   Hope this helps at least a bit

In C use INT32 MAX after  include  lt stdint h gt   In C   use INT32 MAX after  include  lt cstdint gt    Or INT MAX for platform-specific size or UINT32 MAX or UINT MAX for unsigned int   See http   www cplusplus com reference cstdint  and http   www cplusplus com reference climits    Or sizeof int

What do you mean  It should be easy enough to remember that it is 2 32  If you want a rule to memorize the value of that number  a handy rule of thumb is for converting between binary and decimal in general   2 10   1000  which means 2 20   1 000 000  and 2 30   1 000 000 000  Double that  2 31  is rounghly 2 billion  and doubling that again  2 32  is 4 billion   It s an easy way to get a rough estimate of any binary number  10 zeroes in binary becomes 3 zeroes in decimal

You will find in binary the maximum value of an Int32 is 1111111111111111111111111111111 but in ten based you will find it is 2147483647 or 2 31-1 or Int32 MaxValue

It is very easy to remember  In hexadecimal one digit is 4 bits  So for unsigned int write 0x and 8 fs  0xffffffff  into a Python or Ruby shell to get the value in base 10  If you need the signed value  just remember that the highest bit is used as the sign  So you have to leave that out  You only need to remember that the number where the lower 3 bits are 1 and the 4th bit is 0 equals 7  so write 0x7fffffff into a Python or Ruby shell  You could also write 0x100000000 - 1 and 0x80000000 - 1  if that is more easy to you to remember

max signed 32 bit num   1  lt  lt  31 - 1      alternatively   1  lt  lt  31    A compiler should optimize it anyway   I prefer 1  lt  lt  31 - 1 over   0x7fffffff because you don t need count fs  unsigned  pow  2  31     - 1 because you don t need  lt math h gt
