Example for long actually calls min for int

In your example of min for long arguments, the arguments are really ints, thus Math.min(int,int) is called instead of Math.min(long,long). The following would be correct:
/*
* To find minimum of two long values, use
* static long min(long l1, long l2) method of Math class.
*/

System.out.println(Math.min(48092840L,4230843L));
