In Java, you can use the Long.parseLong()
method to convert a string representation of a long integer value into a long
primitive type.
Here's an example of how you can use the Long.parseLong()
method to convert a string to a long value:
String str = "12345"; long l = Long.parseLong(str);
In this example, the str
variable is a string that represents the long integer value 12345. The Long.parseLong()
method is called on the str
variable and the resulting long value is stored in the l
variable.
The Long.parseLong()
method takes a string as an argument and returns a long
value. If the string is not a valid long integer representation, the method will throw a NumberFormatException
.
You can also use the Long.valueOf()
method to convert a string to a Long
object, which is the wrapper class for the long
primitive type. The Long.valueOf()
method works in a similar way to the Long.parseLong()
method, but it returns a Long
object instead of a long
value.
Here's an example of how you can use the Long.valueOf()
method to convert a string to a Long
object:
String str = "12345"; Long l = Long.valueOf(str);
In this example, the str
variable is a string that represents the long integer value 12345. The Long.valueOf()
method is called on the str
variable and the resulting Long
object is stored in the l
variable.
It's important to note that both the Long.parseLong()
and Long.valueOf()
methods can throw a NumberFormatException
if the string is not a valid long integer representation. You should catch this exception or use try-with-resources to handle it appropriately.
