Yes, Java supports the `double` data type for representing double-precision floating-point numbers. The `long` data type, however, is specifically for integers, not floating-point numbers. If you need to work with floating-point numbers in Java, you would typically use `double` or `float` for single-precision floating-point numbers. Example of a `double` variable in Java: ```java double myDouble = 3.14; ``` If you need higher precision than `double`, you might consider using the `BigDecimal` class for arbitrary-precision arithmetic.

But not in java. in java, long num = 123457890000000_000L; // no underscore needed but add suffix L for over integer value.
