math.MaxUint16 Constant

The MaxUint16 constant is an inbuilt constant of the math package which is used to get the highest (maximum) value that can be represented by a uint16 (unsigned int16).

The value of math.MaxUint16 constants is 1<<16 - 1 or 65535.

Syntax:

int math.MaxUint16

Parameter(s):

• None

Return Value:

The return type of math.MaxUint16 constant is int, it returns the highest (maximum) value that can be represented by a uint16.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.MaxUint16 Constant

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Type of math.MaxUint16 is %T\n", math.MaxUint16)
	fmt.Println("Value of math.MaxUint16:", math.MaxUint16)
}

Output:

Type of math.MaxUint16 is int
Value of math.MaxUint16: 65535

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the math package to use the math.MaxUint16 constant, then printed the type and value of the math.MaxUint16 constant.

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.MaxUint16 Constant

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

// creating function to
// return the value of MaxUint16.
func getMaxUint16() int {
	return math.MaxUint16
}

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Value of math.MaxUint16:", getMaxUint16())
}

Output:

Value of math.MaxUint16: 65535
