# `long()` (cast)

Converts a value to the long data type. Here is an example:

    double d = 2.5;
    long i = long(d); // i holds "2L", an long value

The value inside of the parentheses (`long(...)`) can be of any type. However, if it is not a numeric type (like `double`, `char`, etc.), you will get strange results.

See the long reference for details about the precision and limitations of `long` variables on the Maple.
