How to get max value of an integer

This only works with signed integer because of the ">= 0".

I think I will continue to use int.MaxValue ☺️

He used a signed int @deadlyRants

@balambuc I know. But if someone actually uses that code they probably also copy-paste it for other types.

You must be fun at parties guys..

I bet there is a js lib somewhere doing the equivelant and its just being blindly used 😨

Horrible as this is, most self-respecting compilers will probably just substitute the whole thing with a constant.

Maybe compilers should also notify the police, or upload a notification onto the programmer's LinkedIn page or something. ^^

@deadlyRants Java doesn't have unsigned variables

That code gave me cancer

@deadlyRants if somebody uses this code you should let them learn the hard way.

That person needs to be hung, drawn and quartered.

(unsigned) -1

Awfully as it seems I recently found a similar code of one of my friends, a for-like while. I almost went to jail for premeditated murder.

@jpichardo Wouldn't that be a crime of passion, rather than premeditated murder?

@Grundeir You're right, it would.

wouldn't this end up as an endless loop?

@ralee That's the idea at some point `i` will be at the maximum value of an integer and cause an exception which would end the loop.

@jpichardo Actually there is no exception thrown here, but integer overflow, which will get negative number.

@MarounMaroun I remember trying to assign (Java) a exaggeratedly great value to a int and getting a numberformatexception
