Thread: integer number too large - don't understand

import javax.swing.*;
public class TestInt
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{

long tooBig;

tooBig = 2147483648;


}
}

Jgrasp reports: TestInt.java:9: error: integer number too large: 2147483648
tooBig = 2147483648

Why is this?

Thanks in advance

2147483648 is too large to be an int, and is being represented as a "literal int"
2147483648L is the representation of a "literal long"

2147483648 is too large to be an int, and is being represented as a "literal int"

But in the my code I have "Long TooBig"
How is it being represented as a "literal int"?

When you type a series of digits, it is the literal representation of the number. In this specific case it is a literal int being assigned to a variable of type long.

String s = 'c';
Here, c is a character being assigned to a String variable, but it is still the literal representation of a character.

Can you please supply the correct code as I still don't fully understand.
thanks
