Long is an integer format that uses 32 bit for data.

The highest bit is the sign, so the variable ranges from -2^31 (-2147483648) to 2^31-1 (2147483647)

There are no restrictions when using a long as a local variable within a script, but when you use a global variable, it's internally stored as a float, and there might be a precission issue with very large values.
