*Java Type Casting

Type casting is when you assign a value of one primitive data type to another type.

In Java, there are two types of casting:

Widening Casting (automatically) - converting a smaller type to a larger type size
byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double

Narrowing Casting (manually) - converting a larger type to a smaller size type
double -> float -> long -> int -> char -> short -> byte

Widening Casting

Widening casting is done automatically when passing a smaller size type to a larger size type

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int myInt = 9;
double myDouble = myInt; // Automatic casting: int to double

System.out.println(myInt);      // Outputs 9
System.out.println(myDouble);   // Outputs 9.0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
}

*Narrowing Casting
*

Narrowing casting must be done manually by placing the type in parentheses () in front of the value

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double myDouble = 9.78d;
int myInt = (int) myDouble; // Manual casting: double to int

System.out.println(myDouble);   // Outputs 9.78
System.out.println(myInt);      // Outputs 9
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
}
