'''Wren-long''' is a module which adds support for 64-bit integer arithmetic to the Wren programming language. It currently consists of 2 classes: ULong and ULongs. The latter contains static methods for dealing with lists of ULong objects.

It is the nineteenth in a series of modules (listed on the language's [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Wren main page]]) designed to assist with writing Rosetta Code tasks so the same code does not have to be written or copy/pasted time and time again thereby bloating a task's script code unnecessarily.

To use it you need to copy the source code (in the [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category_talk:Wren-long talk page]]) to a text file called ''long.wren'' and place this in the same directory as the importing script so the command line interpreter can find it.

As there is a dependency on the ''Wren-trait'' module, you also need to copy that (if it is not already present) to the same directory as described [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Wren-trait here]]. Unless you are using classes in that module directly, there is no need to ''import'' them into your script and the ''Comparable'' class can even be imported via Wren-long itself.
