public final class Long
extends Number
The Long class provides an object wrapper for Long data values and serves as a place for long-oriented operations. A wrapper is useful because most of Java's utility classes require the use of objects. Since longs are not objects in Java, they need to be "wrapped" in a Long instance.

Variable Index

o MAX_VALUE
The maximum value a Long can have.
o MIN_VALUE
The minimum value a Long can have.

Constructor Index

o Long(long)
Constructs a Long object initialized to the specified value.
o Long(String)
Constructs a Long object initialized to the value specified by the String parameter.

Method Index

Returns the value of this Long as a float.
o getLong(String)
Get a Long property.
o getLong(String, long)
Get a Long property.
o getLong(String, Long)

o parseLong(String, int)
Assuming the specified String represents a long, returns that long's value.
o parseLong(String)

Constructors

o Long 
  public Long(long value)
Constructs a Long object initialized to the specified value.
Parameters:
value - the initial value of the Long
o Long 
  public Long(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Constructs a Long object initialized to the value specified by the String parameter. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String to be converted to a Long
Throws: NumberFormatException
If the String does not contain a parsable long.

Methods

o toString 
  public static String toString(long i,
                                int radix)
Returns a new String object representing the specified long in the specified radix.
Parameters:
i - the long to be converted
radix - the radix
See Also:
MIN_RADIX, MAX_RADIX
o toString 
  public static String toString(long i)
Returns a new String object representing the specified integer. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
i - the long to be converted

Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
radix - the radix to be used
Throws: NumberFormatException
If the String does not contain a parsable integer.
o parseLong 
  public static long parseLong(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a long, return that long's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a long. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the long
Throws: NumberFormatException
If the string does not contain a parsable long.
o valueOf 
  public static Long valueOf(String s,
                             int radix) throws NumberFormatException

Parameters:
s - the String containing the long.
radix - the radix to be used
Throws: NumberFormatException
If the String does not contain a parsable long.
o valueOf 
  public static Long valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a long, returns a new Long object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a long. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the long
