How can I pass number greater than 999 999 999 as parameter in java
<p>Can I pass number greater than 999 999 999 as parameter in java.</p>

<p>When I do like this it gives compiler error the literal 999 999 999 9 of type is out of range</p>

<pre><code> passNumber(9999999999);

 public String passNumber(long number){
     if(number &gt; 999999999)
         throw new BigNumberException("Number too large")
 }
</code></pre>
