Other primitive data types for integer numbers: long

Type long
Dimension 64 bit (8 byte)
Domain the set of integer numbers in the interval [- 263, + 263 - 1]
Operations + sum
  - difference
  * product
  / integer division
  % rest of the integer division
Literals sequences of digits ending with an l (or L)
  denoting values of the domain (e.g., 9000000000L)

Example:

long a, b, c;                      // Declaration of variables of type long
a = 9000000000L;                   // Use of literals
b = Long.parseLong("9000000000l"); // Conversion from String to long
c = b / 300000L
