public static Long decode(String str)

Convert the specified String into a Long. The String may represent decimal, hexadecimal, or octal numbers.

The extended BNF grammar is as follows:

 DecodableString:
      ( [ - ] DecimalNumber )
    | ( [ - ] ( 0x | 0X
              | # ) HexDigit { HexDigit } )
    | ( [ - ] 0 { OctalDigit } )
 DecimalNumber:
        DecimalDigit except '0' { DecimalDigit }
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 10) has value 0 to 9
 OctalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 8) has value 0 to 7
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 16) has value 0 to 15
 

Finally, the value must be in the range MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, or an exception is thrown. Note that you cannot use a trailing 'l' or 'L', unlike in Java source code.

Parameters:

str - the String to interpret

parseLong(String,int)

public static long parseLong(String str,
                             int radix)

Converts the specified String into an int using the specified radix (base). The string must not be null or empty. It may begin with an optional '-', which will negate the answer, provided that there are also valid digits. Each digit is parsed as if by Character.digit(d, radix), and must be in the range 0 to radix - 1. Finally, the result must be within MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, inclusive. Unlike Double.parseDouble, you may not have a leading '+'; and 'l' or 'L' as the last character is only valid in radices 22 or greater, where it is a digit and not a type indicator.

Parameters:

str - the String to convert

radix - the radix (base) to use in the conversion

Returns:

the String argument converted to long

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a long

Converts the long to a String using the specified radix (base). If the radix exceeds Character.MIN_RADIX or Character.MAX_RADIX, 10 is used instead. If the result is negative, the leading character is '-' ('\\u002D'). The remaining characters come from Character.forDigit(digit, radix) ('0'-'9','a'-'z').

Parameters:

num - the long to convert to String

radix - the radix (base) to use in the conversion

Returns:

the String representation of the argument

public static Long valueOf(String s)
