Type conversion and casting
If there is any compatibility existing between two types then java would automatically per-
forms the conversion.
Java automatic conversion
•
It will be performed when two conditions are met.
•
When the two types are compatible;
•
Destination type is larger than the source type.
•
After the two conditions are been satisfied a widening conversion takes place.
Casting compatible types
•
It is a simple and explicit type of conversion.
•
When a floating type of conversion is attached to an integer type this type of
conversion is called truncation.
•
It is a kind of conversion sometime called narrowing conversion.
