Java 8 | BigInteger longValueExact() Method with Examples
Last Updated :
04 Dec, 2018
java.math.BigInteger.longValueExact() was introduced in Java 8. It is an inbuilt function which converts the value of BigInteger to a long and checks for lost information. If the value of BigInteger is greater than 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 or less than -9,223,372,036,854,775,808; the method will throw
ArithmeticException as BigInteger doesn’t fit in long range.
Syntax:
public long longValueExact()
Return Value: This method returns the long value of this BigInteger.
Exception: The method throws
ArithmeticException if the value of BigInteger is greater than 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 or less than -9,223,372,036,854,775,808; as this range doesn’t fit in long range.
Example:
Input: 98169894145
Output: 98169894145
Explanation: 98169894145 is given as input which is BigInteger
and long value of 98169894145 is 98169894145
Input: -65416518651
Output: -65416518651
Explanation: -65416518651 is given as input which is BigInteger
and long value of -65416518651 is -65416518651
Input: 10000000000000000000
Output: ArithmeticException
Explanation: When 10000000000000000000 is tried to convert to long,
since 10000000000000000000 > 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (greater than a long's range),
therefore it throws an arithmetic exception.
Below programs illustrates longValueExact() method of BigInteger class:
Program 1: To demonstrate longValueExact() method for positive number <9,223,372,036,854,775,807
Java
// Java program to demonstrate longValueExact()
// method of BigInteger Class
import java.math.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a BigInteger object
BigInteger big;
big = new BigInteger("98169894145");
// print value of BigInteger
System.out.println("BigInteger value : "
+ big);
// convert big to the long value
long b1 = big.longValueExact();
// print long value
System.out.println("long converted value : "
+ b1);
}
}
Output:
BigInteger value : 98169894145
long converted value : 98169894145
Program 2: To demonstrate longValueExact() method for negative number >-9,223,372,036,854,775,808
Java
// Java program to demonstrate longValueExact()
// method of BigInteger Class
import java.math.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a BigInteger object
BigInteger big = new BigInteger("-65416518651");
// print value of BigInteger
System.out.println("BigInteger value : "
+ big);
// convert big to the long value
long b1 = big.longValueExact();
// print long value
System.out.println("long converted value : "
+ b1);
}
}
Output:
BigInteger value : -65416518651
long converted value : -65416518651
Program 3: To demonstrate longValueExact() method for negative number <-9,223,372,036,854,775,808. It will throw Arithmetic Exception
Java
// Java program to demonstrate longValueExact()
// method of BigInteger Class
import java.math.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a BigInteger object
BigInteger big = new BigInteger("-10000000000000000000");
// print value of BigInteger
System.out.println("BigInteger value : "
+ big);
try {
// convert big to the long value
long b1 = big.longValueExact();
// print long value
System.out.println("long converted value : "
+ b1);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}
}
}
Output:
BigInteger value : -10000000000000000000
Exception: java.lang.ArithmeticException: BigInteger out of long range
Program 4: To demonstrate longValueExact() method for positive number >9,223,372,036,854,775,807. It will throw Arithmetic Exception
Java
// Java program to demonstrate longValueExact()
// method of BigInteger Class
import java.math.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating a BigInteger object
BigInteger big = new BigInteger("10000000000000000000");
// print value of BigInteger
System.out.println("BigInteger value : "
+ big);
try {
// convert big to the long value
long b1 = big.longValueExact();
// print long value
System.out.println("long converted value : "
+ b1);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}
}
}
Output:
BigInteger value : 10000000000000000000
Exception: java.lang.ArithmeticException: BigInteger out of long range
