A long bigger than Long.MAX_VALUE

Question

How can I get a long number bigger than Long.MAX_VALUE?

I want this method to return true:

boolean isBiggerThanMaxLong(long val) {
    r         


        

Answer 1

If triangle.lborderA is indeed a long then the test in the original code is trivially true, and there is no way to test it. It is also useless.

However, if triangle.lborderA is a double, the comparison is useful and can be tested. isBiggerThanMaxLong(1e300) does return true.

  public static boolean isBiggerThanMaxLong(double in){
    return in > Long.MAX_VALUE;
  }
