This code: import sys x = sys.maxsize print ("Max size is: ", x) y = (x + 1) print ("y is", type(y), "with a value of", y)
Produces this result: Max size is: 9223372036854775807 y is <class 'int'> with a value of 9223372036854775808 I was expecting it to error out but instead it produces a value greeter than the supposed maximum while still keeping it as an int. I’m confused. If sys.maxsize _isn’t_ the largest possible value then how do I determine what is?
