int is always 4 bytes, it can contains from -2_147_483_648 to 2_147_483_647.

oh, ok. I thought it only contains numbers to 2_000_000, but 2 to the power of 32 is your result, thanks.

If you want to know the min and max of the numeric types, just use their min and max properties - e.g. int.min or long.max.
