20.8

java.lang.Long

THE PACKAGE JAVA.LANG

If the property value begins with the character

0

 followed by another charac 

ter, it is parsed as an octal integer exactly as for the method

Long.valueOf

( 20.7.20) with radix

8

.

Otherwise the property value is parsed as a decimal integer exactly as for the

method

Long.valueOf

 ( 20.7.20) with radix

10

.

Note that, in every case, neither

L

 nor

l

 is permitted to appear at the end of the

property value as a type indicator, as would be permitted in Java source code

( 3.10.1).

The second argument serves as a default value. If there is no property of the

specified name, or if the property does not have the correct numeric format, then

the second argument is returned.
