MaxInt
Constant
The maximum value an Integer can have System unit
  const MaxInt = High(Integer);
Description
The MaxInt constant gives the largest allowed value for an Integer.
 
The value is normally (2^32)-1 = 2,147,483,647 but is not guaranteed to be so in all Delphi releases.
 
It is often used when the size of something, such as an array, is unknown.
