how to convert number 10 to a long value ?

807591 Mar 26, 2008 2:39 PM

Hello
What is the corresponding long value for number 10 ?
I am trying to compare timestamp

time1: long value of 09:10:00 is 1206105000929
time2: long value of 09:08:20 is 1206104900929
I need to get the difference between time1 and time2 and check if that difference is less than 10, but I do not know the long value for 10 b/c I am using the long values to subtract.
Or if there is another clean way to do this, please point me in the right direction.

I appreciate any help on this .

Thank you

If you put an L at the end of a number, Java will parse it as a long.

But I don't know if you even need to do that, just compare the difference against 10 as an int; Java should automatically promote it.

if (Math.abs(time1 - time2) < 10) { // whatever }
should work, I think.
