math.MinInt32 Constant

The MinInt32 constant is an inbuilt constant of the math package which is used to get the lowest (minimum) value that can be represented by an int32.

The value of math.MinInt32 constants is -1 << 31 or -2147483648.

Syntax:

int math.MinInt32

Parameter(s):

• None

Return Value:

The return type of math.MinInt32 constant is int, it returns the lowest (minimum) value that can be represented by an int32.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.MinInt32 Constant

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Type of math.MinInt32 is %T\n", math.MinInt32)
	fmt.Println("Value of math.MinInt32:", math.MinInt32)
}

Output:

Type of math.MinInt32 is int
Value of math.MinInt32: -2147483648

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the math package to use the math.MinInt32 constant, then printed the type and value of the math.MinInt32 constant.

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.MinInt32 Constant

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

// creating function to
// return the value of MinInt32.
func getMinInt32() int {
	return math.MinInt32
}

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Value of math.MinInt32:", getMinInt32())
}

Output:

Value of math.MinInt32: -2147483648
