How big can a 64bit signed integer be?

Question

In redis,

The range of values supported by HINCRBY is limited to 64 bit signed integers.

And I\'d like to know how big can t

Answer 1

    Formula   

    2^(n-1) is the formula of the maximum value of a Bigint data type.

    In the preceding formula N is the size of the data type. The ^ operator calculates the power of the value.

    Now determine the value of N in Bit:

Select (max_length * 8) as 'Bit(s)' from sys.types Where name = 'BIGInt'
=64 Bits

Range:: -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807

Answer 2

A signed integer ranges from size −2^(n−1) through 2^(n−1) − 1 so in this case the maximum value would be 2 ^ 63 - 1 or 9,223,372,036,854,775,807

Answer 3

This article is good for more information about this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science)

So the answer to the question should be: From -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, or from −(2^63) to 2^63 − 1

The highest positive number stored in a signed int is represented binary as

----- 63 ones -----

0111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

If you think carefully you can find out that this number is exactly 2^63 - 1.
