Compile-time constant expressions that overflow are a potential source of bugs.
Literals without an explicit `L` suffix have type `int`, so the following
multiplication expression is evaluated as an integer before being widened to
`long`. The value is greater than `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, so it wraps around to
`-1857093632`.
```java
static final long NANOS_PER_DAY = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000;
```
The intent was probably for the multiplication expression to be evaluated as a
`long` instead of an `int`.
```java
static final long NANOS_PER_DAY = 24L * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000;
```
If you find yourself doing this kind of time based math, consider using an API
that provides a safer, more readable solution. For example, on the sub-second
scale, see [`TimeUnit.convert`].
