The statement that is TRUE about a long integer is:
- It uses more than 32 bits.
Long integers typically have a size of at least 64 bits in many programming languages, allowing them to represent much larger values than a standard 32-bit integer. The other statements are incorrect: a long integer can hold values larger than what 17 bits can represent, it does not have a decimal (it’s an integer), and while it is represented in binary (1s and 0s), that fact alone does not specifically describe the characteristics of a long integer.
