How to define a petabyte constant in Swift

1 Answer

0 votes
/*
    Swift's Int type is a signed 64‑bit integer on all modern Apple platforms.
    Its maximum value is about 9.22 × 10^18.

    A petabyte fits easily:

        1 PiB = 2^50  = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
        1 PB  = 10^15 = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

    Swift allows:
      - bit shifting on integers
      - readable numeric literals with underscores
      - compile‑time constant evaluation
*/

// Binary petabyte (pebibyte), using a bit shift.
// 1 << 50 = 2^50 bytes.
let petabytePiB: Int64 = 1 << 50

// Decimal petabyte (SI petabyte), using a readable numeric literal.
let petabytePB: Int64 = 1_000_000_000_000_000

print("1 PiB = \(petabytePiB) bytes")
print("1 PB  = \(petabytePB) bytes")



/*
run:

1 PiB = 1125899906842624 bytes
1 PB  = 1000000000000000 bytes

*/
