About
In Java, the long data type stores integer on 64 bit while the integer data type stores integer on 32bit.
The primitive wrapper Long is a subclass of Number in java
Implementation
Primitive Integer
Long is an integer that is encoded with 64 bit but you have also int on 32 bit.
| Primitive Type | Primitive Wrapper | Stored in a word of | min | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| int | Integer | 32 bits | <math>-2^{31}</math>
-2,147,483,648 | <math>+2^{31}-1</math>
-2,147,483,647 |
| long | Long | 64 bits | <math>-2^{63}</math>
-9,223,372,036,854,775,807 | <math>+2^{63-1}</math>

Long
- javase/9/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicLong.html - A long value that may be update atomically - support increment function also
Management
Initialization
- From a literal
long = 1.073.741.824L;
- From a variable
long = (long)a;
- from an integer
Long i = theinteger.longValue()
- from an int
Long i = Long.valueOf(3);
Operation
Number - (Arithmetical | Numerical | Mathematical) Operators on long
The operations are done in the largest data type required to handle all of the current values.
| For the below mathematics Operations | The operation is a |
|---|---|
| int (operator) int | integer operation |
| int (operator) long | long operation |
Example:
- a long operation
long i = (int)1 * (long)2
- a int operation
long i = (int)1 * (int)2
To Int
- from a long object to an integer
Long theLong;
Integer i = theLong.intValue()
- or from a long primitive
Math.toIntExact(long)
To Array
new Long[]{long1, long2, ...};
