Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Long.toString() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class LongDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     Long l = new Long(5);
   
     // returns a string representation of the specified long with radix 10
     String retval = l.toString(87630, 10);
     System.out.println("Value = " + retval);
     
     // returns a string representation of the specified long with radix 16
     retval = l.toString(87630, 16);
     System.out.println("Value = " + retval);
     
     // returns a string representation of the specified long with radix 8
     retval = l.toString(87630, 8);
     System.out.println("Value = " + retval);
   }
}  

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

Value = 87630
Value = 1564e
Value = 253116
