Answer Wiki. The int type is a 4-byte signed integer. There are also tinyint (1 byte), smallint (2 bytes), and bigint (8 bytes), and unsigned versions of all of these. As Apostolos mentioned, the docs for all the numeric types are here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/...
An int is a primitive. It is not an Object. An int is a high performance, streamlined beast for calculating numbers in the range -2,147,483,648 [-231] aka Integer.MIN_VALUE to +2,147,483,647 [2 31-1] aka Integer.MAX_VALUE. An int is a bare bones 32-bit chunk of information. int variables are mutable.
