Long

class Long : Number, Comparable<Long!>

kotlin.Any
↳	kotlin.Number
	↳	java.lang.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 constructors

Long

Added in API level 1

Long(value: Long)

Deprecated: It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory valueOf(long) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.

Parameters
value	Long: the value to be represented by the Long object.

Long

Added in API level 1

Long(s: String)

Deprecated: It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use parseLong(java.lang.String) to convert a string to a long primitive, or use 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.

fun compareTo(other: Long): Int

Compares two Long objects numerically.

Parameters
o	the object to be compared.
anotherLong	the Long to be compared.

Return
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).

Exceptions
java.lang.NullPointerException	if the specified object is null
java.lang.ClassCastException	if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object.

compareUnsigned

Added in API level 26

static fun compareUnsigned(
    x: Long, 
    y: Long
): Int

Compares two long values numerically treating the values as unsigned.

Parameters
x	Long: the first long to compare

Int	the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y as unsigned values; and a value greater than 0 if x > y as unsigned values

decode

Added in API level 1

static fun decode(nm: String): Long

Decodes a String into a Long. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:

Signopt DecimalNumeral

Signopt 0x HexDigits

Signopt 0X HexDigits

Signopt HexDigits

Signopt 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 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.

Parameters
nm	String: the String to decode.

Return
Long	a Long object holding the long value represented by nm

Exceptions
java.lang.NumberFormatException	if the String does not contain a parsable long.

See Also

Added in API level 26

static fun divideUnsigned(
    dividend: Long, 
    divisor: Long
): Long

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	Long: the value to be divided
divisor	Long: the value doing the dividing

Return
Long	the unsigned quotient of the first argument divided by the second argument

See Also

• #remainderUnsigned

equals

Added in API level 1

fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

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.

Parameters
obj	the object to compare with.

Return
Boolean	true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

getLong

Added in API level 1

static fun getLong(nm: String): Long?

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 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 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	String: property name.

Return
Long?	the Long value of the property.

Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException	for the same reasons as System.getProperty

See Also

• java.lang.System#getProperty(java.lang.String)
• java.lang.System#getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

getLong

Added in API level 1

static fun getLong(
    nm: String, 
    val: Long
): Long?

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 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 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	String: property name.
val	Long?: default value.

Return
Long?	the Long value of the property.

Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException	for the same reasons as System.getProperty

• java.lang.System#getProperty(java.lang.String)
• java.lang.System#getProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

getLong

Added in API level 1

static fun getLong(
    nm: String, 
    val: Long?
): Long?

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 java.lang.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 ('\u005Cu004C') nor l ('\u005Cu006C') 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	String: property name.
val	Long?: default value.

Return
Long?	the Long value of the property.

Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException	for the same reasons as System.getProperty

static fun hashCode(value: Long): Int

Returns a hash code for a long value; compatible with Long.hashCode().

Parameters
i	Long: the value whose number of trailing zeros is to be computed

parseLong

Added in API level 1

static fun parseLong(

    radix: Int
): Long

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 java.lang.Character#digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value), except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u005Cu002D') to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B') to indicate a positive value. The resulting long value is returned.

Note that neither the character L ('\u005Cu004C') nor l ('\u005Cu006C') 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 java.lang.Character#MIN_RADIX or larger than 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 '-' ('\u005Cu002d') or plus sign '+' ('\u005Cu002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
• The value represented by the string is not a value of type long.

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	Long: the value whose bits are to be rotated left
distance	Int: the number of bit positions to rotate left

Return
Long	the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value left by the specified number of bits.

toString

Added in API level 1

static fun toString(
    i: Long, 
    radix: Int
): String

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 '-' ('\u005Cu002d'). 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' ('\u005Cu0030'); 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 '\u005Cu0030' through '\u005Cu0039' and '\u005Cu0061' through '\u005Cu007a'. 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 java.lang.String#toUpperCase() method may be called on the result: Long.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

Parameters
i	Long: a long to be converted to a string.
radix	Int: the radix to use in the string representation.

Return
String	a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

toUnsignedString

Added in API level 26

static fun toUnsignedString(
    i: Long, 
    radix: Int
): String

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' ('\u005Cu0030'); 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	Long: an integer to be converted to an unsigned string.
radix	Int: the radix to use in the string representation.

Return
String	an unsigned string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

valueOf

Added in API level 1

static fun valueOf(
    s: String, 
    radix: Int
): Long

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

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

Parameters
s	String: the string to be parsed
radix	Int: the radix to be used in interpreting s

Return
Long	a Long object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.

java.lang.NumberFormatException	If the string cannot be parsed as a long.

valueOf

Added in API level 1

static fun valueOf(l: Long): Long

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. This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127, inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range.

Parameters
l	Long: a long value.

Return
Long	a Long instance representing l.

Properties

TYPE

Added in API level 1
