      Only to 2^54. The amount of integers representable by a long is more. But it can and does represent every int value correctly

        *long long, if we’re gonna be taking about C types. A long is commonly limited to 32 bits.

          C is irrelevant because this post is about Java and in Java long is 64 bits.

          you should never be using these types in c anyway, (u?)int(8/16/32/64)_t are way more sane
