Long (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Number
- - java.lang.Long

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Long>
```
public final class Long
extends Number
implements Comparable<Long>
```
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).

```
public static String toString(long i,
                              int radix)
```
    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 '-' ('\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 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 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.

```
public static String toUnsignedString(long i,
                                      int 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' ('\u0030'); 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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    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.

  - toHexString
```
public static String toHexString(long i)
```
    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' ('\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 to be converted to a string.
    
    Returns:
    
    the string representation of the unsigned long value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16).

```
public static String toOctalString(long i)
```
    Returns 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. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in octal (base 8) with no extra leading 0s.
    The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string s by calling Long.parseUnsignedLong(s, 8).
    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 octal digits:
    01234567
    These are the characters '\u0030' through '\u0037'.
    
    Parameters:

                      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(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to indicate a positive value. The resulting long value is returned.
    Note that neither the character L ('\u004C') nor l ('\u006C') 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 '-' ('\u002d') or plus sign '+' ('\u002B') 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 parseLong("Hazelnut", 36) returns 1356099454469L

                              throws 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 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 '+' ('\u002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
    - The value represented by the string is larger than the largest unsigned long, 2⁶⁴-1.
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String containing the unsigned integer representation to be parsed
    
    radix - the radix to be used while parsing s.
    
    Returns:

                           int radix)
                    throws NumberFormatException
```
    Returns a Long object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed long in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the arguments were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String, int) method. The result is a Long object that represents the long 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 to be parsed
    
    radix - the radix to be used in interpreting s
    
    Returns:
    
    a Long object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
    
    Throws:

    Returns a Long object holding the value of the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal long, exactly as if the argument were given to the parseLong(java.lang.String) method. 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 Long object holding the value represented by the string argument.
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - If the string cannot be parsed as a long.
  - valueOf
```
public static Long valueOf(long l)
```
    Returns a Long instance representing the specified long value. If a new Long instance is not required, this method should generally be used in preference to the constructor Long(long), as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values. Note that unlike the corresponding method in the Integer class, this method is not required to cache values within a particular range.
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - a long value.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Long instance representing l.

  - getLong
```
public static Long getLong(String nm)
```
    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(java.lang.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)
    
    Parameters:
    
    nm - property name.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Long value of the property.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty
    
    See Also:
    
    System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  - getLong
```
public static Long getLong(String nm,
                           long val)
```
    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(java.lang.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.
    Parameters:
    
    nm - property name.
    
    val - default value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Long value of the property.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty
    
    See Also:
    
    System.getProperty(java.lang.String), System.getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  - getLong
```
public static Long getLong(String nm,
                           Long val)
```
    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(java.lang.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(java.lang.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(java.lang.String, int) with radix 8.
    - Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method valueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 10.
    Note that, in every case, neither L ('\u004C') nor l ('\u006C') 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.
    Parameters:
    
    nm - property name.
    
    val - default value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Long value of the property.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - for the same reasons as System.getProperty

    Since:
    
    1.2

public static int compare(long x,
                          long y)
```
    Compares two long values numerically. The value returned is identical to what would be returned by:

```
    Parameters:
    
    x - the first long to compare
    
    y - the second long to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
    
    Since:
    
    1.7

    Since:
    
    1.8
  - divideUnsigned
```
public static long divideUnsigned(long dividend,

```
    Returns the unsigned quotient of dividing the first argument by the second where each argument and the result is interpreted as an unsigned value.
    Note that in two's complement arithmetic, the three other basic arithmetic operations of add, subtract, and multiply are bit-wise identical if the two operands are regarded as both being signed or both being unsigned. Therefore separate addUnsigned, etc. methods are not provided.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dividend - the value to be divided
    
    divisor - the value doing the dividing
    
    Returns:
    
    the unsigned quotient of the first argument divided by the second argument

    divisor - the value doing the dividing
    
    Returns:
    
    the unsigned remainder of the first argument divided by the second argument

  - highestOneBit
```
public static long highestOneBit(long i)
```
    Returns a long value with at most a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the specified long value. Returns zero if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement binary representation, that is, if it is equal to zero.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - the value whose highest one bit is to be computed
    
    Returns:
    
    a long value with a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order one-bit in the specified value, or zero if the specified value is itself equal to zero.
    
    Since:

    Parameters:
    
    i - the value whose lowest one bit is to be computed
    
    Returns:
    
    a long value with a single one-bit, in the position of the lowest-order one-bit in the specified value, or zero if the specified value is itself equal to zero.
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - numberOfLeadingZeros
```
public static int numberOfLeadingZeros(long i)
```
    Returns the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value. Returns 64 if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement representation, in other words if it is equal to zero.
    Note that this method is closely related to the logarithm base 2. For all positive long values x:
    - floor(log₂(x)) = 63 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x)
    - ceil(log₂(x)) = 64 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x - 1)
    Parameters:
    
    i - the value whose number of leading zeros is to be computed
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value, or 64 if the value is equal to zero.

    Returns:
    
    the number of zero bits following the lowest-order ("rightmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value, or 64 if the value is equal to zero.
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - bitCount
```
public static int bitCount(long i)
```

    Returns:
    
    the number of one-bits in the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value.

```
    Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value left by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the left hand, or high-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)
    Note that left rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to right rotation: rotateLeft(val, -distance) == rotateRight(val, distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 64 is a no-op, so all but the last six bits of the rotation distance can be ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateLeft(val, distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance & 0x3F).
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - the value whose bits are to be rotated left
    
    distance - the number of bit positions to rotate left

    the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value left by the specified number of bits.
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - rotateRight

public static long rotateRight(long i,

```
    Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value right by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the right hand, or low-order, side reenter on the left, or high-order.)
    Note that right rotation with a negative distance is equivalent to left rotation: rotateRight(val, -distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 64 is a no-op, so all but the last six bits of the rotation distance can be ignored, even if the distance is negative: rotateRight(val, distance) == rotateRight(val, distance & 0x3F).
