  • Long data type is a 64-bit signed two's complement integer
  • Minimum value is -9,223,372,036,854,775,808(-2^63)
  • Maximum value is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (inclusive)(2^63 -1)
  • This type is used when a wider range than int is needed
  • Default value is 0L
  • Example: long a = 100000L, long b = -200000L

Program:

 public class LongDataType {

   public static void main(String []args) {
      // this is declaration and initialization of variable a
	  // datatype is long
	  long a = 100000L;
	  // this is declaration and initialization of variable b
	  // datatype is long
       long b = -200000L;
      System.out.println(a); // it will print a variable
      System.out.println(b); // it will print b variable
   }
}

 

Output:

100000
-200000
