Returns a {@code Long} object holding the value
of the specified {@code String}. The argument is
interpreted as representing a signed decimal {@code long},
exactly as if the argument were given to the {@link
#parseLong(java.lang.String)} method. The result is a
{@code Long} object that represents the integer value
specified by the string.
<p>In other words, this method returns a {@code Long} object
equal to the value of:
<blockquote>
{@code new Long(Long.parseLong(s))}
</blockquote>
@param s the string to be parsed.
@return a {@code Long} object holding the value
represented by the string argument.
@throws NumberFormatException If the string cannot be parsed
as a {@code long}.
