Data type for long number that is not going to change in the program
I am developing a class Account where I need a data member - "Account Number". It will contain 14 digit account numbers, for example 35611211121068. Now my question is - What must be the data type of this data member - long or string and most importantly Why?
long accountNumber = 35611211121068; // just for example
String accountNumber = "35611211121068"; // just for example
string long-integer
