All Implemented Interfaces:: Comparable

public final class Long
extends Number
implements Comparable

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.

decode

public static Long decode(String nm)
                   throws NumberFormatException

Decodes a String into a Long. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers, in the following formats:

     [-]        decimal constant
     [-] 0x     hex constant
     [-] #      hex constant
     [-] 0      octal constant

The constant following an (optional) negative sign and/or "radix specifier" is parsed as by the Long.parseLong method with the specified radix (10, 8 or 16). This constant must be positive or a NumberFormatException will result. The result is made negative if first character of the specified String is the negative sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.

Parameters:: nm - the String to decode.

parseLong

public static long parseLong(String s)
                      throws NumberFormatException

Parses the string argument as a signed decimal long. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' (\u002d') to indicate a negative value. The resulting long value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the parseLong(String, int) method that takes two arguments.

Note that neither L nor l is permitted to appear at the end of the string as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java programming language source code.

Parameters:: s - a string.
Returns:: the long represented by the argument in decimal.
Throws:: NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable long.

parseLong

public static long parseLong(String s,
                             int radix)
                      throws NumberFormatException

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 returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002d' to indicate a negative value. The resulting long value is returned.

Note that neither L nor l 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 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.
The first character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix and is not a minus sign '-' ('\u002d').
The first character of the string is a minus sign and the string is of length 1.
Any character of the string after the first is not a digit of the specified radix.
The integer value represented by the string cannot be represented as a value of type long.

Examples:

 parseLong("0", 10) returns 0L
 parseLong("473", 10) returns 473L
 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
 parseLong("Hazelnut", 36) returns 1356099454469L

Parameters:: s - the String containing the long.; radix - the radix to be used.
Returns:: the long represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws:: NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable integer.

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Returns the value of this Long as a short.

Overrides:: shortValue in class Number

Returns:: the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type short.
Since:: JDK1.1

toBinaryString

public static String toBinaryString(long i)

Creates 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.

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('&392;u0030'); otherwise, the first character of the representation of the unsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. The characters '0' ('\u0030') and '1' ('\u0031') are used as binary digits.

Parameters:: i - a long.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in binary (base 2).
Since:: JDK 1.0.2

toHexString

public static String toHexString(long i)

Creates 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.

If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0' ('\u0030'); 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:

 0123456789abcdef

These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0039' and '\u0061' through '\u0066'. If uppercase letters are desired, the String.toUpperCase() method may be called on the result:

 Long.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

Parameters:: i - a long.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).
Since:: JDK 1.0.2

toOctalString

public static String toOctalString(long i)

Creates a string representation of the long argument as an unsigned integer in base 8.

The unsigned long value is the argument plus 2⁶⁴ if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument.

01234567

These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0037'.

Parameters:: i - a long.
Returns:: the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in octal (base 8).
Since:: JDK 1.0.2

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String object representing this Long's value. The long integer value represented by this Long object is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the long value were given as an argument to the toString(long) method that takes one argument.

Overrides:: toString in class Object

Returns:: a string representation of this object in base 10.

toString

public static String toString(long i)

Returns a new String object representing the specified integer. The argument is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the toString(long, int) method that takes two arguments.

Parameters:: i - a long to be converted.
Returns:: a string representation of the argument in base 10.

toString

public static String toString(long i,
                              int radix)

Creates 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 '-' ('\u002d'. 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' ('\u0030'); 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 '\u0030' through '\u0039' and '\u0061' through '\u007a'. If the 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()

Parameters:: i - a long.; radix - the radix.
Returns:: a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.
See Also:: Character.MAX_RADIX, Character.MIN_RADIX

valueOf

public static Long valueOf(String s)
                    throws NumberFormatException

Returns a new long object initialized to the value of the specified String. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a long. The radix is assumed to be 10.

The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal integer, exactly as if the argument were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String) method that takes one argument). The result is a Long object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

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

 new Long(Long.parseLong(s))

Parameters:: s - the string to be parsed.
Returns:: a newly constructed Long initialized to the value represented by the string argument.
Throws:: NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable long.

valueOf

public static Long valueOf(String s,
                           int radix)
                    throws NumberFormatException

Returns a new long object initialized to the value of the specified String. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a long.

The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the arguments were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String, int) method that takes two arguments. The result is a Long object that represents the integer value specified by the string.

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

 new Long(Long.parseLong(s, radix))

Parameters:: s - the String containing the long.; radix - the radix to be used.
Returns:: a newly constructed Long initialized to the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Throws:: NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable long.
