C# Convert.ToInt32(long) Method

Convert.ToInt32(long) Method is used to convert a specific 64-bit signed integer (long) value to its equivalent 32-bits signed integer (int32).

Note: Value to be converted should not exceed the range of a signed 32-bit integer.

Syntax:

    int Convert.ToInt32(long value);

It accepts a long value/variable as an argument and returns its equivalent signed integer.

Example:

    Input: 
    int a = 1234567;
    Output:
    1234567

    Input: 
    int a = - 7654321;
    Output:
    -7654321 

Code:

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            long a = 1234567;
            long b = -7654321;
            long c = 47878330;
            
            Console.WriteLine("value of a: {0}, type of a: {1}", a, a.GetType());
            Console.WriteLine("value of b: {0}, type of b: {1}", b, b.GetType());
            Console.WriteLine("value of c: {0}, type of c: {1}", c, c.GetType());

            //converting to Int32 & printing values & types
            Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(a), Convert.ToInt32(a).GetType());
            Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(b), Convert.ToInt32(b).GetType());
            Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(c), Convert.ToInt32(c).GetType());

            //hit ENTER to exit
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Output

value of a: 1234567, type of a: System.Int64
value of b: -7654321, type of b: System.Int64
value of c: 47878330, type of c: System.Int64
value: 1234567, type: System.Int32
value: -7654321, type: System.Int32
value: 47878330, type: System.Int32
