title: Parse String to long with leading zero
body: <p>Long story short (in Java):</p>
  
  <pre><code>String input= "0888880747;
  
  long convert = Long.parseLong(input);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The value of convert is now: 888880747</p>
  
  <p>How can I parse the <code>String</code> to a <code>long</code> but retain the leading zero?</p>
