TYPE CASTING
Suppose you have made a tea and your tea cup gets broken, and then you
decide to pour the tea inside a coffee mug and then drink it. Similarly in type
casting we transfer or store our data values from one type to another, for
example if we decide to store our integer value into float.
So type casting are basically of two types, first where we store the values
in bigger sized data types into smaller ones (for ex: double to int), secondly
where we store values of smaller sized datatypes into bigger ones (ex: int to
short). So the two ways are completely different when we go with
implementations so without wasting much time let’s dive right into the example
of first type of type casting, i.e., storing values of bigger data values into
smaller ones.
Ex:
import java.util.*;
public class HackerRank {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
double x= 2.312;
int y= (int) x;
System.out.println(y); //Output: 2
}
}
Now let’s see the example of the second type of type casting in which we
store the values of smaller data types into bigger ones. Unlike the first one
this one is simpler
Ex:
import java.util.*;
public class HackerRank {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
byte x =2;
float y = x;
System.out.println(y); //Output: 2.0
}
}
