Hi

For the longest time i had assumed that integer literals defaulted to Long and floting point literals to Double.
Now i find out that actually integer literals default to int.
Am i going insane...where does the default to Long type come in....i've been a java programmer for a long long time.

regards
k

Never. There is no default to long. If you want a long literal, put "L" at the end of the number.
