Question

Don’t know if this is an eclipse specific problem but whenever I declare a long and try to put a value > 2^32 in it complains about “the literal XXXXXX of type int is out of range”

I’ve tried casting is directly to long but is doesnt seem to have any effect. What am I missing here?

Try creating long constant: 123456789123l (note letter l in the end)

long l = 123456789123; // error, constant `123456789123` has type int

long l1 = 123456789123l; // will work
long l2 = 123456789123L; // will work too
