Think of it like this.
An Integer is a container where you store a value.
32bits shows how big value you can store. In this case, it can store a maximum number of 4,294,967,295. Or if you use a positive and negative value, from 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
16bits can store a number of 65,535, or between 32,768 and 32,767 if we use a positive and negative value.
8bit can store a number of 255, or between -128 to 127 if we use a positive and negative value.

It's great when you hit too much gold and wind up with negative gold in a game because of this.

Super Mario Bros got that problem with lifes.
It starts to show symbols instead of numbers at 10, and once you hit enough lifes, they turned negative.
