INT_MAX was not declared in this scope/could not be resolved [message #1758044]

Hi. I am new to C++ and I am going through the Cave of Programming at udemy.com. The lesson is Integer Types.

The code is as follows:

//===================================================================
// Name        : Integer.cpp
//===================================================================

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

using namespace std;

int main() {

	int value = 54656;
	cout << value << endl;

	cout << INT_MAX << endl;
	
	return 0;
}

I get an error at cout << INT_MAX << endl; that says "Symbol INT_MAX could not be resolved. The author of the tutorial mentions that some compilers may have an issue with <limits> and even suggested <limits.h> but either gives the same error.

Help!

Thanks

What you want is #include <climits> for INT_MAX
See: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/climits/

You can use #include <limits> but it declares templates.
See the example: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/limits/numeric_limits/
