Int64 - a 64 bit sized integer - the largest in delphi
<![CDATA[
type Int64 = -9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807;
Description
The Int64 type is a 64 bit signed Integer. This size is fixed, and will not change in future releases of Delphi.
Functions such as IntToStr support Int64 (via overloading).
Integer constants are cast to Int64 type when they exceed Integer size.
Notes
There is no unsigned 64 bit integer type in Delphi.

Example code : Showing the capacity of Int64
var
min, max : Int64;
begin
// Set the minimum and maximum values of this data type
min := Low(Int64);
max := High(Int64);
ShowMessage('Min int64 value = '+IntToStr(min));
ShowMessage('Max int64 value = '+IntToStr(max));
end;
