Byte longValue() method in Java with examples

The longValue() method of Byte class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of this Byte object as long.

Syntax

ByteObject.longValue()

Return Value: It return the value of ByteObject as long.

Below is the implementation of longValue() method in Java:

Example 1:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte longValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // byte value
        byte a = 17;

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(a);

        // longValue of the Byte Object
        long output = b.longValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Long value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Long value of 17 is : 17

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte longValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "17";

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(value);

        // longValue of the Byte Object
        long output = b.longValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Long value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Long value of 17 is : 17
