As in C: include limits.h, and look at LONG_MAX or INT_MAX.

This was it. But for objective-c, no needed to add the include file. This SO question answered it all: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2107544/types-in-objective-c-on-iphone – Justin Galzic Dec 08 '10 at 15:59

public class Main 
{
    public void displayMinAndMaxValuesOfLong() 
    {

        System.out.println(Long.MIN_VALUE);
        System.out.println(Long.MAX_VALUE);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        new Main().displayMinAndMaxValuesOfLong();
    }
}

-1 not only is this the wrong language but I had to correct the formatting of the code. – JeremyP Dec 08 '10 at 09:24
It's also just plain weird code. Why would you instantiate Main in main() and call an instance method for this? – Chuck Dec 08 '10 at 09:29
