Now Long.MAX_VALUE is 01111...111 in binary representation (should be 64 bits, IIRC). I.e. the lower 32 bits are all ones, which happens to be -1 as an int. (All ones is always -1 in 2's complement.) That's it. It totally makes sense: converting to int just drops the unneeded upper bits from long. Now Long.MAX_VALUE is 01111…111 in binary representation (should be 64 bits, IIRC).
