Constructor Details

• Long

  @Deprecated(since="9")public Long(long value)

  Deprecated.

  It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factoryvalueOf(long) is generally a better choice, as it islikely to yield significantly better space and time performance.

  Constructs a newly allocatedLong object thatrepresents the specifiedlong argument.

  Parameters:

  value - the value to be represented by theLong object.

• Long

  @Deprecated(since="9")public Long(String s) throwsNumberFormatException

  Deprecated.

  It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor.UseparseLong(String) to convert a string to along primitive, or usevalueOf(String)to convert a string to aLong object.

  Constructs a newly allocatedLong object thatrepresents thelong value indicated by theString parameter. The string is converted to along value in exactly the manner used by theparseLong method for radix 10.

  Parameters:

  s - theString to be converted to aLong.

  Throws:

  NumberFormatException - if theString does not contain a parsablelong.

Method Details

• toString

  public static String toString(long i, int radix)

  Returns a string representation of the first argument in theradix specified by the second argument.

  If the radix is smaller thanCharacter.MIN_RADIXor larger thanCharacter.MAX_RADIX, then the radix10 is used instead.

  If the first argument is negative, the first element of theresult is the ASCII minus sign'-'('\u002d'). If the first argument is notnegative, no sign character appears in the result.

  The remaining characters of the result represent the magnitudeof the first argument. If the magnitude is zero, it isrepresented by a single zero character'0'('\u0030'); otherwise, the first character ofthe representation of the magnitude will not be the zerocharacter. The following ASCII characters are used as digits:

  0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

  These are'\u0030' through'\u0039' and'\u0061' through'\u007a'. Ifradix isN, then the firstN of these charactersare used as radix-N digits in the order shown. Thus,the digits for hexadecimal (radix 16) are0123456789abcdef. If uppercase letters aredesired, theString.toUpperCase() method maybe called on the result:

  Long.toString(n, 16).toUpperCase()

  Parameters:

  i - along to be converted to a string.

  radix - the radix to use in the string representation.

  Returns:

  a string representation of the argument in the specified radix.

  See Also:

  • Character.MAX_RADIX
  • Character.MIN_RADIX

• toUnsignedString

  public static String toUnsignedString(long i, int radix)

  Returns a string representation of the first argument as anunsigned integer value in the radix specified by the secondargument.

  If the radix is smaller thanCharacter.MIN_RADIXor larger thanCharacter.MAX_RADIX, then the radix10 is used instead.

  Note that since the first argument is treated as an unsignedvalue, no leading sign character is printed.

  If the magnitude is zero, it is represented by a single zerocharacter'0' ('\u0030'); otherwise,the first character of the representation of the magnitude willnot be the zero character.

  The behavior of radixes and the characters used as digitsare the same astoString.

  Parameters:

  i - an integer to be converted to an unsigned string.

  radix - the radix to use in the string representation.

  Returns:

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

  public static String toHexString(long i)

  Returns a string representation of thelongargument as an unsigned integer in base 16.

  The unsignedlong value is the argument plus2⁶⁴ if the argument is negative; otherwise, it isequal to the argument. This value is converted to a string ofASCII digits in hexadecimal (base 16) with no extraleading0s.

  The value of the argument can be recovered from the returnedstrings by callingLong.parseUnsignedLong(s,16).

  If the unsigned magnitude is zero, it is represented by asingle zero character'0' ('\u0030');otherwise, the first character of the representation of theunsigned magnitude will not be the zero character. Thefollowing characters are used as hexadecimal digits:

  0123456789abcdef

  These are the characters'\u0030' through'\u0039' and'\u0061' through'\u0066'. If uppercase letters are desired,theString.toUpperCase() method may be calledon the result:

  Long.toHexString(n).toUpperCase()

  The first argument is treated as the name of a systemproperty. System properties are accessible through theSystem.getProperty(java.lang.String) method. Thestring value of this property is then interpreted as along value using the grammar supported bydecodeand aLong object representing this value is returned.

  The second argument is the default value. ALong objectthat represents the value of the second argument is returned if thereis no property of the specified name, if the property does not havethe correct numeric format, or if the specified name is empty or null.

  In other words, this method returns aLong object equalto the value of:

  getLong(nm, Long.valueOf(val))

  but in practice it may be implemented in a manner such as:

  Long result = getLong(nm, null);return (result == null) ? Long.valueOf(val) : result;

  to avoid the unnecessary allocation of aLong object whenthe default value is not needed.

  Parameters:

  nm - property name.

  val - default value.

  Returns thelong value of the system property withthe specified name. The first argument is treated as the nameof a system property. System properties are accessible throughtheSystem.getProperty(java.lang.String)method. The string value of this property is then interpretedas along value, as per thedecode method, and aLong objectrepresenting this value is returned; in summary:

  • If the property value begins with the two ASCII characters0x or the ASCII character#, not followed bya minus sign, then the rest of it is parsed as a hexadecimal integerexactly as for the methodvalueOf(java.lang.String, int)with radix 16.
  • If the property value begins with the ASCII character0 followed by another character, it is parsed asan octal integer exactly as by the methodvalueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 8.
  • Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimalinteger exactly as by the methodvalueOf(java.lang.String, int) with radix 10.

  Note that, in every case, neitherL('\u004C') norl('\u006C') is permitted to appear at the endof the property value as a type indicator, as would bepermitted in Java programming language source code.

  The second argument is the default value. The default value isreturned if there is no property of the specified name, if theproperty does not have the correct numeric format, or if thespecified name is empty ornull.

  Parameters:

  nm - property name.

  val - default value.

  Returns:

  theLong value of the property.

• numberOfLeadingZeros

  public static int numberOfLeadingZeros(long i)

  Returns the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representationof the specifiedlong value. Returns 64 if thespecified value has no one-bits in its two's complement representation,in other words if it is equal to zero.

  Note that this method is closely related to the logarithm base 2.For all positivelong values x:

  • floor(log₂(x)) =63 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x)
  • ceil(log₂(x)) =64 - numberOfLeadingZeros(x - 1)

  Parameters:

  i - the value whose number of leading zeros is to be computed

  Returns:

  the number of zero bits preceding the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specifiedlong value, or 64 if the value is equal to zero.

• numberOfTrailingZeros

  public static int numberOfTrailingZeros(long i)

  Returns the number of zero bits following the lowest-order ("rightmost")one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specifiedlong value. Returns 64 if the specified value has noone-bits in its two's complement representation, in other words if it isequal to zero.

  Parameters:

  i - the value whose number of trailing zeros is to be computed

  Returns:

  the number of zero bits following the lowest-order ("rightmost") one-bit in the two's complement binary representation of the specifiedlong value, or 64 if the value is equal to zero.

• rotateLeft

  public static long rotateLeft(long i, int distance)

  Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binaryrepresentation of the specifiedlong value left by thespecified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the left hand, orhigh-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)

  Note that left rotation with a negative distance is equivalent toright rotation:rotateLeft(val, -distance) == rotateRight(val,distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 64 is ano-op, so all but the last six bits of the rotation distance can beignored, even if the distance is negative:rotateLeft(val,distance) == rotateLeft(val, distance & 0x3F).

  Parameters:

  i - the value whose bits are to be rotated left

  distance - the number of bit positions to rotate left

  Returns:

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

  Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binaryrepresentation of the specifiedlong value right by thespecified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the right hand, orlow-order, side reenter on the left, or high-order.)

  Note that right rotation with a negative distance is equivalent toleft rotation:rotateRight(val, -distance) == rotateLeft(val,distance). Note also that rotation by any multiple of 64 is ano-op, so all but the last six bits of the rotation distance can beignored, even if the distance is negative:rotateRight(val,distance) == rotateRight(val, distance & 0x3F).

  Parameters:

  i - the value whose bits are to be rotated right

  distance - the number of bit positions to rotate right

  Returns:

  the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specifiedlong value right by the specified number of bits.

• compress

  public static long compress(long i, long mask)

  Returns the value obtained by compressing the bits of thespecifiedlong value,i, in accordance withthe specified bit mask.

  For each one-bit valuemb of the mask, from leastsignificant to most significant, the bit value ofi atthe same bit location asmb is assigned to the compressedvalue contiguously starting from the least significant bit location.All the upper remaining bits of the compressed value are setto zero.

  API Note:

  Consider the simple case of compressing the digits of a hexadecimalvalue:

  Copy

  // Compressing drink to foodcompress(0xCAFEBABEL, 0xFF00FFF0L) == 0xCABABL

  Starting from the least significant hexadecimal digit at position 0from the right, the mask0xFF00FFF0 selects hexadecimal digitsat positions 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 of0xCAFEBABE. The selected digitsoccur in the resulting compressed value contiguously from digit position0 in the same order.

  The following identities all returntrue and are helpful tounderstand the behaviour ofcompress:

  Copy

  // Returns 1 if the bit at position n is onecompress(x, 1L << n) == (x >> n & 1)// Logical shift rightcompress(x, -1L << n) == x >>> n// Any bits not covered by the mask are ignoredcompress(x, m) == compress(x & m, m)// Compressing a value by itselfcompress(m, m) == (m == -1 || m == 0) ? m : (1L << bitCount(m)) - 1// Expanding then compressing with the same maskcompress(expand(x, m), m) == x & compress(m, m)

  The Sheep And Goats (SAG) operation (see Hacker's Delight, Second Edition, section 7.7)can be implemented as follows:

  Copy

  long compressLeft(long i, long mask) {    // This implementation follows the description in Hacker's Delight which    // is informative. A more optimal implementation is:    //   Long.compress(i, mask) << -Long.bitCount(mask)    return Long.reverse(        Long.compress(Long.reverse(i), Long.reverse(mask)));}long sag(long i, long mask) {    return compressLeft(i, mask) | Long.compress(i, ~mask);}// Separate the sheep from the goatssag(0x00000000_CAFEBABEL, 0xFFFFFFFF_FF00FFF0L) == 0x00000000_CABABFEEL

  • expand(long, long)

• expand

  public static long expand(long i, long mask)

  Returns the value obtained by expanding the bits of thespecifiedlong value,i, in accordance withthe specified bit mask.

  For each one-bit valuemb of the mask, from leastsignificant to most significant, the next contiguous bit valueofi starting at the least significant bit is assignedto the expanded value at the same bit location asmb.All other remaining bits of the expanded value are set to zero.

  API Note:

  Consider the simple case of expanding the digits of a hexadecimalvalue:

  Copy

  expand(0x0000CABABL, 0xFF00FFF0L) == 0xCA00BAB0L

  Starting from the least significant hexadecimal digit at position 0from the right, the mask0xFF00FFF0 selects the first fivehexadecimal digits of0x0000CABAB. The selected digits occurin the resulting expanded value in order at positions 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7.

  The following identities all returntrue and are helpful tounderstand the behaviour ofexpand:

  Copy

  // Logically shift right the bit at position 0expand(x, 1L << n) == (x & 1) << n// Logically shift rightexpand(x, -1L << n) == x << n// Expanding all bits returns the maskexpand(-1L, m) == m// Any bits not covered by the mask are ignoredexpand(x, m) == expand(x, m) & m// Compressing then expanding with the same maskexpand(compress(x, m), m) == x & m

  The select operation for determining the position of the one-bit withindexn in along value can be implemented as follows:

  Copy

  long select(long i, long n) {    // the one-bit in i (the mask) with index n    long nthBit = Long.expand(1L << n, i);    // the bit position of the one-bit with index n    return Long.numberOfTrailingZeros(nthBit);}// The one-bit with index 0 is at bit position 1select(0b10101010_10101010, 0) == 1// The one-bit with index 3 is at bit position 7select(0b10101010_10101010, 3) == 7
