Long class toOctalString() method

• toOctalString() method is available in java.lang package.
• toOctalString() method is used to represent an octal string of the given parameter [value] of long type as an unsigned long in base 8.
• toOctalString() method is a static method, it is accessible with the class name too and if we try to access the method with the class object then also we will not get an error.
• toOctalString() method does not throw an exception at the time of conversion from long integer to an octal string.

Syntax:

    public static String toOctalString (long value);

Parameter(s):

• long value – represents the long value to be converted.

Return value:

The return type of this method is String, it returns the octal string of the given parameter that represent the unsigned long value.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of toOctalString (long value) method of Long class

public class ToOctalStringOfLongClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Variables initialization
        long l1 = 10;
        long l2 = 20;
        long l3 = 30;
        long l4 = Long.MAX_VALUE;
        long l5 = Long.MIN_VALUE;

        // Long instance creation
        Long value = new Long(l1);

        // It represents Octal string of the given
        // long type l2 argument
        String s = value.toOctalString(l2);

        // Display Octal String Representation
        System.out.println("value.toOctalString(l2): " + s);

        // It represents Octal string of the given
        // long type l3 argument
        s = value.toOctalString(l3);

        // Display Octal String Representation
        System.out.println("value.toOctalString(l3): " + s);


        // It represents Octal string of the given
        // long type l4 argument
        s = value.toOctalString(l4);

        // Display Octal String Representation
        System.out.println("value.toOctalString(l4): " + s);

        // It represents Octal string of the given
        // long type l5 argument
        s = value.toOctalString(l5);

        // Display Octal String Representation
        System.out.println("value.toOctalString(l5): " + s);
    }
}

Output

value.toOctalString(l2): 24
value.toOctalString(l3): 36
value.toOctalString(l4): 777777777777777777777
value.toOctalString(l5): 1000000000000000000000
