How about using the switch statement? It's essentially another way of doing conditional logic.

If it was me, I'd display some friendly message to the user saying what argument(s) was bad and why, then return from the main method.

You can try this trick that I learned:

public class Constants{ public final static String EmpNo= "1111".intern(); }

Calling 'intern()' prevents the compiler from in-lining the value to the calling class while still giving you the advantage of using shared literal string values.

You're trying to tell the compiler that "-23.3L" is a Long integer type, but that's impossible because the number -23.3 is definitely not an integer.
