Java - convert binary String to long

Short solution:

String binaryString = "00111111111111111101111111111111111111111";
long number = Long.parseLong(binaryString, 2);

System.out.println(number); // 549751619583

The best way to convert binary String to long in java is to use Long.parseLong() method.

Syntax:

Long.parseLong(String binaryString, int radix)

1. Simple example

public class Example1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String binaryString = "00111111111111111101111111111111111111111";
        long number = Long.parseLong(binaryString, 2);
        System.out.println(number); // 549751619583
    }
}

Output:

549751619583

2. Convert couple of different binary strings to long

public class Example2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("00000000", 2) ); // 0
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("00000101", 2) ); // 5
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("00001000", 2) ); // 8
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("00001100", 2) ); // 12
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("00010000", 2) ); // 16
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong("11111111", 2) ); // 255

        String maxLong = "01111111111111111111111111111111" +
                         "11111111111111111111111111111111";
        System.out.println( Long.parseLong(maxLong, 2) ); // 9223372036854775807
        System.out.println( Long.MAX_VALUE );             // 9223372036854775807
    }
}

Output:

0
5
8
12
16
255
9223372036854775807
9223372036854775807

3. Convert binary string to long in loop - from 0 to 16

In this example we convert binary string to long in loop from 0 to 16 and then we print both binary and long representations of given number.

public class Example3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        for (long number = 0; number <= 16; number++) {

            String binaryString = Long.toBinaryString(number);

            String format = String.format("%8s", binaryString);
            String withLeadingZeros = format.replace(' ', '0');

            long backToNumber = Long.parseLong(binaryString, 2);

            System.out.println(withLeadingZeros + " - " + backToNumber);
        }
    }
}

Output:

00000000 - 0
00000001 - 1
00000010 - 2
00000011 - 3
00000100 - 4
00000101 - 5
00000110 - 6
00000111 - 7
00001000 - 8
00001001 - 9
00001010 - 10
00001011 - 11
00001100 - 12
00001101 - 13
00001110 - 14
00001111 - 15
00010000 - 16
