Data Type	Constant	Value
Signed char	SCHAR_MIN SCHAR_MAX	-128 127
char	CHAR_MIN CHAR_MAX	-128 127
Unsigned char	UCHAR_MAX	255
Short int	SHRT_MIN SHRT_MAX	-32768 32767
Unsigned short int	USHRT_MAX	65535
int	INT_MIN INT_MAX	-2147483648 2147483647
Unsigned int	UINT_MAX	4294967295
Long int	LONG_MIN LONG_MAX	-9223372036854775808 9223372036854775807
Unsigned long int	ULONG_MAX	18446744073709551615

C Program to Find Range of Data Types

The below program prints the range of Data types in a C program.

Program:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<limits.h>
int main()
{
   printf("The number of bits in a byte = %d\n", CHAR_BIT);

   printf("\nThe minimum value of Signed CHAR is = %d\n", SCHAR_MIN);
   printf("The maximum value of Signed CHAR is = %d\n", SCHAR_MAX);
   printf("The minimum value of CHAR is = %d\n", CHAR_MIN);
   printf("The maximum value of CHAR is = %d\n", CHAR_MAX);

   printf("\nThe minimum value of Signed INT is = %d\n", INT_MIN);
   printf("The maximum value of Signed INT is = %d\n", INT_MAX);
   printf("The maximum value of Unsigned INT is = %u\n", UINT_MAX);

   return 0;
}

Output:

The number of bits in a byte = 8

The minimum value of Signed CHAR is = -128
The maximum value of Signed CHAR is = 127
The minimum value of CHAR is = -128
The maximum value of CHAR is = 127

The minimum value of Signed INT is = -2147483648
The maximum value of Signed INT is = 2147483647
The maximum value of Unsigned INT is = 4294967295
