Convert long value to primitive types

In this chapter you will learn:

How to Convert long value to byte, double, float, int, long, short

Convert long value to byte, double, float, int, long, short

Long class has the following methods for converting long type value to other primitive types.

byte byteValue() returns the value of this Long as a byte.
double doubleValue() returns the value of this Long as a double.
float floatValue() returns the value of this Long as a float.
int intValue() returns the value of this Long as an int.
long longValue() returns the value of this Long as a long value.
short shortValue() returns the value of this Long as a short.

The code below creates a long type value from string and then converts it other primitive types.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Long longObject = new Long("1234567");
    byte b = longObject.byteValue();
    System.out.println("byte:"+b);
/*from   j  av a2 s  . c  o m*/
    short s = longObject.shortValue();
    System.out.println("short:"+s);

    int i = longObject.intValue();
    System.out.println("int:"+i);

    float f = longObject.floatValue();
    System.out.println("float"+f);

    double d = longObject.doubleValue();
    System.out.println("double:"+d);

    long l = longObject.longValue();
    System.out.println("long:"+l);
  }
}
