public final class UnsignedLongs
extends java.lang.Object
```
Static utility methods pertaining to long primitives that interpret values as unsigned (that is, any negative value x is treated as the positive value 2^64 + x). The methods for which signedness is not an issue are in Longs, as well as signed versions of methods for which signedness is an issue.
In addition, this class provides several static methods for converting a long to a String and a String to a long that treat the long as an unsigned number.
Users of these utilities must be extremely careful not to mix up signed and unsigned long values. When possible, it is recommended that the UnsignedLong wrapper class be used, at a small efficiency penalty, to enforce the distinction in the type system.
See the Guava User Guide article on unsigned primitive utilities.

  - compare
```
public static int compare(long a,
                          long b)
```
    Compares the two specified long values, treating them as unsigned values between 0 and 2^64 - 1 inclusive.
    Java 8+ users: use Long.compareUnsigned(long, long) instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - the first unsigned long to compare
    
    b - the second unsigned long to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    a negative value if a is less than b; a positive value if a is greater than b; or zero if they are equal
  - min
```
public static long min(long... array)
```
    Returns the least value present in array, treating values as unsigned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - a nonempty array of unsigned long values
    
    Returns:
    
    the value present in array that is less than or equal to every other value in the array according to compare(long, long)
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty
  - max
```
public static long max(long... array)
```
    Returns the greatest value present in array, treating values as unsigned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - a nonempty array of unsigned long values
    
    Returns:
    
    the value present in array that is greater than or equal to every other value in the array according to compare(long, long)
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty
  - join
```
public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String separator,
                                    long... array)
```
    Returns a string containing the supplied unsigned long values separated by separator. For example, join("-", 1, 2, 3) returns the string "1-2-3".
    
    Parameters:
    
    separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in the resulting string (but not at the start or end)
    
    array - an array of unsigned long values, possibly empty
  - lexicographicalComparator
```
public static java.util.Comparator<long[]> lexicographicalComparator()
```
    Returns a comparator that compares two arrays of unsigned long values lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(long, long)), the first pair of values that follow any common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter array as the lesser. For example, [] < [1L] < [1L, 2L] < [2L] < [1L << 63].
    The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but it is consistent with Arrays.equals(long[], long[]).
