Why am I getting the error "integer number too large"? I'm including an "L" at the end

java, javac, long-integer

Solution

Well, maybe because it is `too large`?

595082963178094600000  //your value
  9223372036854775807  //Long.MAX_VALUE

You will need either `BigInteger` or `BigDecimal`:

new BigInteger("595082963178094600000")

Problem

The following code is not compiling in Java: java version "1.6.0_24" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (suse-3.1-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) ``` public class XOR { public static void main(String[] args) { long one = 595082963178094600000L; } } ``` This throws the error: ``` XOR.java:5: integer number too large: 595082963178094600000 ``` But I've properly indicated it as a long! The following also throws an error: ``` public class XOR { public static void main(String[] args) { long one = new Long( "595082963178094600000" ); } } ``` This throws: ``` java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "595082963178094600000" ``` What am I doing wrong?
