typemin(T)
The lowest value representable by the given (real) numeric DataType T.
Examples
julia> typemin(Int)
-9223372036854775808
julia> typemin(Float64)
-Inf
julia> typemin(Bool)
false-
Find the lowest value of an integer type:
julia> typemin(Int8) -128 -
Find the lowest value of a floating-point type:
julia> typemin(Float32) -Inf - Get the lowest value of a boolean type:
julia> typemin(Bool) false
Common mistake example:
julia> typemin(String)
ERROR: TypeError: in typemin, expected Type, got StringIn this example, String is not a valid argument for typemin since it is not a numeric data type. Make sure to provide a valid numeric data type as an argument to typemin.
