title: Convert long value to char sequence in Java
body: <p>I would like to convert a long value to a char sequence like in this caluculator <a href="http://programmerscalc.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I don't really know how that value is converted into the ASCII sequence (or if its even correct). I thought that an ASCII value is 8 bit long so that would mean that I have to convert the long value to binary and then split it into 8 bit blocks, is that correct?</p>
