<p>new: info, size, example</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;long&#039;&#039;&#039; [[class]] in [[C Sharp]] is a [[data type]] which can store positive and negative whole numbers in [[Variable|variables]].<br /> <br /> See [[Integer]] for generic information about what integers and longs can represent and how they are represented in [[memory]].<br /> <br /> == Size ==<br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;long&#039;&#039;&#039; in C# is represented by 8 [[Byte|bytes]], or 64 [[Bit|bits]].<br /> <br /> This means it can store integral values from &lt;code&gt;-9,223,372,036,854,775,808&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;9,223,372,036,854,775,807&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> For less extreme integers (anything between &lt;code&gt;-2,147,483,648&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;2,147,483,647&lt;/code&gt;), you can use the [[C Sharp int]] data type instead, which uses less space in [[memory]].<br /> <br /> == Example ==<br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;cs&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;<br /> long a;<br /> long b = 74;<br /> long c = (long)15.2; // 15<br /> <br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;</div>
