What is the int.MaxValue on a 64-bit PC?

Question

System.Console.WriteLine(int.MaxValue);

This line gives me the answer of 2,147,483,647 as I have a 32-bit PC.

Will the answer be same on a 64-bit PC?

Answer 2

Yes, the answer will be the same on a 64-bit machine.

In .NET, an int is a signed 32-bit integer, regardless of the processor. Its .NET framework type is System.Int32.

The C# Language specification states:

The int type represents signed 32-bit integers with values between –2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.

Contemplate

Answer 3

int is just an alias for Int32 - it's defined in the C# specification. Therefore int.MaxValue is the same as Int32.MaxValue which will always be 2147483647.

int.MaxValue is guaranteed to return 2147483647 but no such guarantee for Int32.MaxValue: blog.paranoidcoding.com/2019/04/08/… – Digger
