*** ** * ** ***

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`.

This is a [value-based](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html) class; programmers should treat instances that are [equal](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#equals(java.lang.Object)) as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.

Implementation note: The implementations of the "bit twiddling" methods (such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#highestOneBit(long)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#numberOfTrailingZeros(long)`) are based on material from Henry S. Warren, Jr.'s *Hacker's Delight*, (Addison Wesley, 2002).

### Long

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Long (String s)
```

<br />

**This constructor is deprecated.**   

It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseLong(java.lang.String)` to convert a string to a `long` primitive, or use `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#valueOf(java.lang.String)` to convert a string to a `Long` object.

Constructs a newly allocated `Long` object that represents the `long` value indicated by the `String` parameter. The string is converted to a `long` value in exactly the manner used by the `parseLong` method for radix 10.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `s` | `String`: the `String` to be converted to a `Long`. <br /> |

| Throws ||

```
public Long (long value)
```

<br />

**This constructor is deprecated.**   

It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#valueOf(long)` is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.

Constructs a newly allocated `Long` object that represents the specified `long` argument.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `value` | `long`: the value to be represented by the `Long` object. <br /> |

```

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `anotherLong` | `Long`: the `Long` to be compared. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the value `0` if this `Long` is equal to the argument `Long`; a value less than `0` if this `Long` is numerically less than the argument `Long`; and a value greater than `0` if this `Long` is numerically greater than the argument `Long` (signed comparison). <br /> |

public static long compress (long i, 
                long mask)
```

Returns the value obtained by compressing the bits of the specified `long` value, `i`, in accordance with the specified bit mask.

For each one-bit value `mb` of the mask, from least significant to most significant, the bit value of `i` at the same bit location as `mb` is assigned to the compressed value contiguously starting from the least significant bit location. All the upper remaining bits of the compressed value are set to zero.

<br />

##### API Note:

- Consider the simple case of compressing the digits of a hexadecimal value: `lang="java" : // Compressing drink to food compress(0xCAFEBABEL, 0xFF00FFF0L) == 0xCABABL ` Starting from the least significant hexadecimal digit at position 0 from the right, the mask `0xFF00FFF0` selects hexadecimal digits at positions 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 of `0xCAFEBABE`. The selected digits occur in the resulting compressed value contiguously from digit position 0 in the same order.

  The following identities all return `true` and are helpful to understand the behaviour of `compress`: `lang="java" : // Returns 1 if the bit at position n is one compress(x, 1L << n) == (x >> n & 1) // Logical shift right compress(x, -1L << n) == x >>> n // Any bits not covered by the mask are ignored compress(x, m) == compress(x & m, m) // Compressing a value by itself compress(m, m) == (m == -1 || m == 0) ? m : (1L << bitCount(m)) - 1 // Expanding then compressing with the same mask compress(expand(x, m), m) == x & compress(m, m) `

  The Sheep And Goats (SAG) operation (see Hacker's Delight, section 7.7) can be implemented as follows: `lang="java" : long compressLeft(long i, long mask) { // This implementation follows the description in Hacker's Delight which // is informative. A more optimal implementation is: // Long.compress(i, mask) << -Long.bitCount(mask) return Long.reverse( Long.compress(Long.reverse(i), Long.reverse(mask))); } long sag(long i, long mask) { return compressLeft(i, mask) | Long.compress(i, ~mask); } // Separate the sheep from the goats sag(0x00000000_CAFEBABEL, 0xFFFFFFFF_FF00FFF0L) == 0x00000000_CABABFEEL `

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: the value whose bits are to be compressed <br /> |
| `mask` | `long`: the bit mask <br /> |

### decode

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static Long decode (String nm)
```

Decodes a `String` into a `Long`. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:
>
>
> *DecodableString:*
> :
>     *Sign~opt~ DecimalNumeral*
> :
>     *Sign~opt~* `0x` *HexDigits*
> :
>     *Sign~opt~* `0X` *HexDigits*
> :
>     *Sign~opt~* `#` *HexDigits*
> :
>     *Sign~opt~* `0` *OctalDigits*
>
>
> *Sign:*
> :
>     `-`
> :
>     `+`
*DecimalNumeral*, *HexDigits*, and *OctalDigits* are as defined in section {@jls 3.10.1} of The Java Language Specification, except that underscores are not accepted between digits.

The sequence of characters following an optional sign and/or radix specifier ("`0x`", "`0X`", "`#`", or leading zero) is parsed as by the `Long.parseLong` method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NumberFormatException` will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specified `String` is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the `String`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `nm` | `String`: the `String` to decode. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long` | a `Long` object holding the `long` value represented by `nm` <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NumberFormatException` | if the `String` does not contain a parsable `long`. |

### divideUnsigned

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static long divideUnsigned (long dividend, 
                long divisor)
```

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.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `dividend` | `long`: the value to be divided <br /> |
| `divisor` | `long`: the value doing the dividing <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | the unsigned quotient of the first argument divided by the second argument <br /> |

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#remainderUnsigned(long,%20long)`

### doubleValue

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public double doubleValue ()
```

Returns the value of this `Long` as a `double` after a widening primitive conversion.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `double` | the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type `double`. <br /> |

### equals

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean equals (Object obj)
```

Compares this object to the specified object. The result is `true` if and only if the argument is not `null` and is a `Long` object that contains the same `long` value as this object.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `obj` | `Object`: the object to compare with. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if the objects are the same; `false` otherwise. <br /> |

### expand

Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static long expand (long i, 
                long mask)
```

Returns the value obtained by expanding the bits of the specified `long` value, `i`, in accordance with the specified bit mask.

For each one-bit value `mb` of the mask, from least significant to most significant, the next contiguous bit value of `i` starting at the least significant bit is assigned to the expanded value at the same bit location as `mb`. All other remaining bits of the expanded value are set to zero.

<br />

##### API Note:

- Consider the simple case of expanding the digits of a hexadecimal value: `lang="java" : expand(0x0000CABABL, 0xFF00FFF0L) == 0xCA00BAB0L ` Starting from the least significant hexadecimal digit at position 0 from the right, the mask `0xFF00FFF0` selects the first five hexadecimal digits of `0x0000CABAB`. The selected digits occur in the resulting expanded value in order at positions 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7.

  The following identities all return `true` and are helpful to understand the behaviour of `expand`: `lang="java" : // Logically shift right the bit at position 0 expand(x, 1L << n) == (x & 1) << n // Logically shift right expand(x, -1L << n) == x << n // Expanding all bits returns the mask expand(-1L, m) == m // Any bits not covered by the mask are ignored expand(x, m) == expand(x, m) & m // Compressing then expanding with the same mask expand(compress(x, m), m) == x & m `

  The select operation for determining the position of the one-bit with index `n` in a `long` value can be implemented as follows: `lang="java" : long select(long i, long n) { // the one-bit in i (the mask) with index n long nthBit = Long.expand(1L << n, i); // the bit position of the one-bit with index n return Long.numberOfTrailingZeros(nthBit); } // The one-bit with index 0 is at bit position 1 select(0b10101010_10101010, 0) == 1 // The one-bit with index 3 is at bit position 7 select(0b10101010_10101010, 3) == 7 `

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: the value whose bits are to be expanded <br /> |
| `mask` | `long`: the bit mask <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | the expanded value <br /> |

**See also:**

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `float` | the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type `float`. <br /> |

### getLong

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#getProperty(java.lang.String)` method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a `long` value, as per the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#decode(java.lang.String)` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#valueOf(java.lang.String,%20int)` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#valueOf(java.lang.String,%20int)` with radix 8.
- Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as by the method `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#valueOf(java.lang.String,%20int)` 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`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `nm` | `String`: property name. <br /> |
| `val` | `Long`: default value. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long` | the `Long` value of the property. <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | for the same reasons as `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#getProperty(java.lang.String)` |

**See also:**

### getLong

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#getProperty(java.lang.String)` method. The string value of this property is then interpreted as a `long` value using the grammar supported by `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#decode(java.lang.String)` 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, Long.valueOf(val))`
but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:
>
> ```
> Long result = getLong(nm, null);
> return (result == null) ? Long.valueOf(val) : result;
> ```
to avoid the unnecessary allocation of a `Long` object when the default value is not needed.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `nm` | `String`: property name. <br /> |
| `val` | `long`: default value. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long` | the `Long` value of the property. <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | for the same reasons as `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#getProperty(java.lang.String)` |

**See also:**

### getLong

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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.

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)`

```
public static long parseLong (String s, 
                int radix)
```

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character#digit(char,%20int)` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character#MIN_RADIX` or larger than `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/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

```
public static long parseUnsignedLong (String s, 
                int radix)
```

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 resulting integer value is returned.

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character#MIN_RADIX` or larger than `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/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`, 2^64^-1.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `s` | `String`: the `String` containing the unsigned integer representation to be parsed <br /> |
| `radix` | `int`: the radix to be used while parsing `s`. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | the unsigned `long` represented by the string argument in the specified radix. <br /> |

The resulting integer value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseUnsignedLong(java.lang.String,%20int)` method.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `s` | `String`: a `String` containing the unsigned `long` representation to be parsed <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | the unsigned `long` value represented by the decimal string argument <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NumberFormatException` | if the string does not contain a parsable unsigned integer. |

| `long` | the unsigned `long` represented by the subsequence in the specified radix. <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | if `beginIndex` is negative, or if `beginIndex` is greater than `endIndex` or if `endIndex` is greater than `s.length()`. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` | if `s` is null. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NumberFormatException` | if the `CharSequence` does not contain a parsable unsigned `long` in the specified `radix`, or if `radix` is either smaller than `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character#MIN_RADIX` or larger than `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character#MAX_RADIX`. |

### toBinaryString

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static String toBinaryString (long i)
```

Returns a string representation of the `long` argument as an unsigned integer in base 2.

The unsigned `long` value is the argument plus 2^64^ if the argument is negative; otherwise, it is equal to the argument. This value is converted to a string of ASCII digits in binary (base 2) with no extra leading `0`s.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string `s` by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseUnsignedLong(java.lang.String,%20int)`.

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 characters `'0'` (`'\u0030'`) and `'1'` (`'\u0031'`) are used as binary digits.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: a `long` to be converted to a string. <br /> |

```
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 2^64^ 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 `0`s.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string `s` by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseUnsignedLong(java.lang.String,%20int)`.

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String#toUpperCase()` method may be called on the result: `Long.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()`

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: a `long` to be converted to a string. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | the string representation of the unsigned `long` value represented by the argument in hexadecimal (base 16). <br /> |

### toOctalString

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 2^64^ 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 `0`s.

The value of the argument can be recovered from the returned string `s` by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseUnsignedLong(java.lang.String,%20int)`.

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'`.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: a `long` to be converted to a string. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | the string representation of the unsigned `long` value represented by the argument in octal (base 8). <br /> |

### toString

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 <var translate="no">N</var>, then the first <var translate="no">N</var> of these characters are used as radix-<var translate="no">N</var> digits in the order shown. Thus, the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are `0123456789abcdef`. If uppercase letters are desired, the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String#toUpperCase()` method may be called on the result: `Long.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()`

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: a `long` to be converted to a string. <br /> |
| `radix` | `int`: the radix to use in the string representation. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | a string representation of the argument in the specified radix. <br /> |

```
public static String toUnsignedString (long i)
```

Returns a string representation of the argument as an unsigned decimal value. The argument is converted to unsigned decimal representation and returned as a string exactly as if the argument and radix 10 were given as arguments to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#toUnsignedString(long,%20int)` method.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `i` | `long`: an integer to be converted to an unsigned string. <br /> |

### toUnsignedString

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#toString(long,%20int)`.

```
public static Long valueOf (String s, 
                int radix)
```

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#parseLong(java.lang.String,%20int)` 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:

### valueOf

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long#Long(long)`, as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values. This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127, inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `l` | `long`: a long value. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Long` | a `Long` instance representing `l`. <br /> |
