Multiplying long values?

by

In Java, all math is done in the largest data type required to handle all of the current values. So, if you have int * int, it will always do the math as an integer, but int * long is done as a long.

In this case, the 1024*1024*1024*80 is done as an Int, which overflows int.

The “L” of course forces one of the operands to be an Int-64 (long), therefore all the math is done storing the values as a Long, thus no overflow occurs.
