What is the minimum and maximum length of an identifier?..

Answer / jai

From a language specification perspective, there is no
limit. From a class file perspective, there is a 64K byte
limit to names. For ASCII identifiers, that would be 65535.
For identifiers beyond the ASCII range, that could be
considerably less, as they are stored in Unicode Transfer
Format (UTF), taking up from 2-3 bytes / character.
