    Only to 2^54. The amount of integers representable by a long is more. But it can and does represent every int value correctly

        C is irrelevant because this post is about Java and in Java long is 64 bits.

        you should never be using these types in c anyway, (u?)int(8/16/32/64)_t are way more sane
