The Integer type is an Integer whose size is not guaranteed. It is the basic integer type in Delphi, and currently has the same capacity as the LongInt type - 1 bit sign, and 31 bits value.
To hold very large integers, use the Int64 type.

// Set the minimum and maximum values of this data type
min := Low(Integer);
max := High(Integer);
ShowMessage('Min integer value = '+IntToStr(min));
ShowMessage('Max integer value = '+IntToStr(max));
end;
