We can always go back to the primitive types if the BigInteger of course can be represented by the type
In the example if big_long is within long range (big_long < Long.MAX_VALUE && big_long > Long.MIN_VALUE) we can use the BigInteger method longValue() to get the long value and assign it to a variable of type long

Integer overflow can lead to buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code by an attacker.
