[SOLVED] How to find out the max value for Int in Swift

How to find out the max value for Int in Swift

I want to understand how to access the "struct" type of Int. When I cmd-clicked Int it took me to this class, i want to find out what is the maximum value this can hold. Is there a way to pull from one of this properties ?. what is max and min in this structure ?

struct Int : SignedInteger {
    var value: Builtin.Word
    init()
    init(_ v: Builtin.Word)
    init(_ value: Int)
    static func convertFromIntegerLiteral(value: Int) -> Int
    typealias ArrayBoundType = Int
    func getArrayBoundValue() -> Int
    static var max: Int { get }
    static var min: Int { get }
}

Solution

“You can access the minimum and maximum values of each integer type with its min and max properties:

let minValue = UInt8.min  // minValue is equal to 0, and is of type UInt8
let maxValue = UInt8.max  // maxValue is equal to 255, and is of type UInt8

The values of these properties are of the appropriate-sized number type (such as UInt8 in the example above) and can therefore be used in expressions alongside other values of the same type.”
