IntLongMath

Performing an arithmetic expression on arguments of type int and then assigning the result to a long is error-prone. The result is widened to a long as the final step, and the intermediate results may overflow.

For example, the following expression exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE and overflows to -1857093632:

long nanosPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000;

The corrected code (which has a value of 86400000000000) is:

long nanosPerDay = 24L * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000;
