# longLong(forKey:)

Returns the 64-bit integer value associated with the specified key.

```
func longLong(forKey aKey: String) -> Int64
```

## Parameters

`aKey`

The key to retrieve from the iCloud key-value store.

## Return Value

The integer value associated with `aKey`, or `0` if the key isn’t present.

## Discussion

This method automatically coerces certain types to their equivalent long integer
values. The Boolean value `true` becomes `1` and `false` becomes `0`. A floating-point
number becomes the greatest integer that’s less than the stored number –– for example,
`2.67` becomes `2`. A string that contains a numerical value contains the equivalent
integer value — for example, “123” becomes `123`.
