Looking up an authoritative source (ie.: "the docs") is one way. Here
is what I found:

https://tour.golang.org/basics/11
 The int, uint, and uintptr types are usually 32 bits wide on 32-bit
 systems and 64 bits wide on 64-bit systems. When you need an integer
 value you should use int unless you have a specific reason to use a
 sized or unsigned integer type. 


Another would be to try to do an operation that would wrap around, but
if you aren't familiar with binary arithmetic in the language in
question, just looking it up is probably easier.
