Hi Bijo

You can use 'as long as' to talk literally about length. Or you can use 'as long as' to indicate a prerequisite/condition, or to mean since/because:

- You can report to work whenever you want as long as it is not later than 10 am.
- As long as you're already making one, you might as well make a few more while you're at it.

as long as

You can use 'as far as' to talk literally about distance. Or you can use 'as far as' to mean 'to the degree or extent that':

- As far as I know, I don't snore.
- As far as I'm concerned, you can do whatever you want.

as far as
(The usage note in the link above may also be helpful for you.)
