An 8-bit unsigned integer can represent values ranging from 0 to 255. This is because, with 8 bits, there are (2^8 = 256) possible combinations of binary digits. Therefore, the smallest value is 0 (all bits are 0) and the largest value is 255 (all bits are 1).

The largest unsigned integer is 26 - 1 = 63, giving the range 0 to 63; The largest signed integer is 25 - 1 = 31, giving the range -32 to 31.
From (-215) to (215 -1). In decimal -32768 to 32767.
2n, where n is the number of bits available.
The signed integer range extends only from negative infinity to positive infinity. You have to make up your own names and symbols for whole numbers that are not included in that range.
