l2i

l2i

Forms
l2i = 136 (0x88)

Stack
..., value.word1, value.word2 ..., result

Description
The value on the top of the operand stack must be of type long. It is popped from the operand stack and converted to an int result by taking the low-order 32 bits of the long value and discarding the high-order 32 bits. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

Notes
The l2i instruction performs a narrowing primitive conversion (§2.6.3). It may lose information about the overall magnitude of value. The result may also not have the same sign as value.
