long: The long data type is a 64-bit two's complement integer. The signed long has a minimum value of -2^63 and a maximum value of 2^63-1. In Java SE 8 and later, you can use the long data type to represent an unsigned 64-bit long, which has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 2^64-1. Use this data type when you need a range of values wider than those provided by int. The Long class also contains methods like compareUnsigned, divideUnsigned etc to support arithmetic operations for unsigned long.

In Dart:

int Integer values no larger than 64 bits, depending on the platform. On the Dart VM, values can be from -2^63 to 2^63 - 1. Dart that’s compiled to JavaScript uses JavaScript numbers, allowing values from -2^53 to 2^53 - 1.

So, you can exactly use int in Dart for the equivalent of long in Java. But beware of the caveat when compiled to JavaScript.

Even for short can we have to use int? – Uday Jul 14 '20 at 13:11 — Uday, Jul 14 '20 at 13:11
@Uday Correct. There's no `short` in Dart. – DarkNeuron Nov 18 '20 at 15:23 — DarkNeuron, Nov 18 '20 at 15:23
Thanks Dart for the simplicity. – Sos. Sep 06 '21 at 19:54 — Sos., Sep 06 '21 at 19:54
