Java.lang.Long Class

Java Long Class

Java.lang package provides a Long class which 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.

Class declaration

The declaration of java.lang.Long class is:

public final class Long
  extends Number
    implements Comparable<Long>

Fields

S.NFields & Description
1. static int BYTES
The number of bytes used to represent a long value in two's complement binary form.
2. static long MAX_VALUE
A constant holding the maximum value a long can have, 263-1.
3. static long MIN_VALUE
A constant holding the minimum value a long can have, -263.
4. static int SIZE
The number of bits used to represent a long value in two's complement binary form.
5. static Class<Long> TYPE
The Class instance representing the primitive type long.

java.lang.Long Methods
