Type Casting In Java | Chang Of Data Types From One Type To Another Type

                                            Type Casting 

Casting one type to another type is known as type casting there are two types of casting 

1. Data type casting : casting one data type to any other data type is known as data type casting 

a. Widening data type casting : casting lower size data type to any other higher size data type.                     It can be implicit and explicit.

Implicit Example : byte b = 10;  // 1 byte = 8 bit

Short s = b ; // 2 byte = 16 bit 

Explicit data type example: byte b =10;

Short s = (short)b;//

a. Narrowing data type casting : casting higher size data type to anyother lower size data type.                     It can be done only explicit.

Example Short s = 10;

Byte b = (byte)s;

Q. Why narrowing explicit only ?

There are chances of data loss that is why narrowing is always explicit. 

1. Class type casting.
