In C++, I enjoyed having access to a 64 bit unsigned integer, via unsigned long long int, or via uint64_t. Now, in Java longs are 64 bits, I know. However, they are signed.

Is there an unsigned long (long) available as a Java primitive? How do I use it?

Starting Java 8, there is support for unsigned long (unsigned 64 bits). The way you can use it is:

Long l1 = Long.parseUnsignedLong("17916881237904312345");

To print it, you can not simply print l1, but you have to first:

String l1Str = Long.toUnsignedString(l1)

Then

System.out.println(l1Str);
