The Long class wraps a value of the primitive type long in an object. An object of type Long contains a single field whose type is long.

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a long to a String and a String to a long, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a long.

Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling" methods (such as highestOneBit and numberOfTrailingZeros) are based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s Hacker's Delight, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

Returns a string representation of the first argument in the radix specified by the second argument.

If the radix is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX, then the radix 10 is used instead.

If the first argument is negative, the first element of the result is the ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u005Cu002d'). If the first argument is not negative, no sign character appears in the result.

The remaining characters of the result represent the magnitude of the first argument. If the magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u005Cu0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the magnitude will not be the zero character. The following ASCII characters are used as digits:

0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
These are '\u005Cu0030' through '\u005Cu0039' and '\u005Cu0061' through '\u005Cu007a'. If radix is N, then the first N of these characters are used as radix-N digits in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are 0123456789abcdef. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:
Long.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()
Params:
  • i – a long to be converted to a string.
  • radix – the radix to use in the string representation.

Returns: a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

Returns a string representation of the first argument as an unsigned integer value in the radix specified by the second argument.

If the radix is smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX, then the radix 10 is used instead.

Note that since the first argument is treated as an unsigned value, no leading sign character is printed.

If the magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u005Cu0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the magnitude will not be the zero character.

The behavior of radixes and the characters used as digits are the same as toString.

  • i – an integer to be converted to an unsigned string.
  • radix – the radix to use in the string representation.

Returns: an unsigned string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

Returns a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 16.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 264 if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in hexadecimal (base 16) with no extra leading 0s.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Long.parseUnsignedLong(s, 16).

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u005Cu0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The following characters are used as hexadecimal digits:

Returns a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 264 if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in binary (base 2) with no extra leading 0s.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Long.parseUnsignedLong(s, 2).

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u005Cu0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The characters '0' ('\u005Cu0030') and '1' ('\u005Cu0031') are used as binary digits.

Parses the string argument as a signed long in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u005Cu002D') to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B') to indicate a positive value. The resulting long value is returned.

Note that neither the character L ('\u005Cu004C') nor l ('\u005Cu006C') is permitted to appear at the end of the string as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code - except that either L or l may appear as a digit for a radix greater than or equal to 22.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

  • The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
  • The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
  • Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u005Cu002d') or plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
  • The value represented by the string is not a value of type long.

Examples:

parseLong("0", 10) returns 0L
parseLong("473", 10) returns 473L
parseLong("+42", 10) returns 42L
parseLong("-0", 10) returns 0L
parseLong("-FF", 16) returns -255L
parseLong("1100110", 2) returns 102L
parseLong("99", 8) throws a NumberFormatException
parseLong("Hazelnut", 10) throws a NumberFormatException

Parses the string argument as an unsigned long in the radix specified by the second argument. An unsigned integer maps the values usually associated with negative numbers to positive numbers larger than MAX_VALUE. The characters in the string must all be digits of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B'). The resulting integer value is returned.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

  • The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
  • The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
  • Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
  • The value represented by the string is larger than the largest unsigned long, 264-1.

Determines the long value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value using the grammar supported by decode and a Long object representing this value is returned.

If there is no property with the specified name, if the specified name is empty or null, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then null is returned.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

getLong(nm, null)
Params:
  • nm – property name.
Throws:

Returns: the Long value of the property.

public static Long getLong(String nm) { return getLong(nm, null); }
Determines the long value of the system property with the specified name.

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value using the grammar supported by decode and a Long object representing this value is returned.

The second argument is the default value. A Long object that represents the value of the second argument is returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

In other words, this method returns a Long object equal to the value of:

getLong(nm, new Long(val))
but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:
Long result = getLong(nm, null);
return (result == null) ? new Long(val) : result;
to avoid the unnecessary allocation of a Long object when the default value is not needed.
Params:

Returns the long value of the system property with the specified name. The first argument is treated as the name of a system property. System properties are accessible through the System.getProperty(String) method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a long value, as per the decode method, and a Long object representing this value is returned; in summary:
  • If the property value begins with the two ASCII characters 0x or the ASCII character #, not followed by a minus sign, then the rest of it is parsed as a hexadecimal integer exactly as for the method valueOf(String, int) with radix 16.
  • If the property value begins with the ASCII character 0 followed by another character, it is parsed as an octal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(String, int) with radix 8.
  • Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(String, int) with radix 10.

Note that, in every case, neither L ('\u005Cu004C') nor l ('\u005Cu006C') is permitted to appear at the end of the property value as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code.

The second argument is the default value. The default value is returned if there is no property of the specified name, if the property does not have the correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

Params:
  • nm – property name.
  • val – default value.
