The advantage of using Long Integer format is that this format will generally
utilize a fewer number of memory bytes for data storage. The number of
bytes will dynamically size, from 1 to 4 bytes, according to the magnitude
of the Output.
The disadvantage of Long Integer format is that numerical precision will be
lost if incoming data is in floating point format. Precison will be lost in the
conversion to integer format (eg 26.3 becomes 26). If large numbers are
processed, this loss of precision may be negligible (eg 36785.2 becomes
36785).
