Widening Casting: Example

In Java, there are two types of casting between primitive data types: widening casting, which automatically converts a smaller type to a larger one; and narrowing casting, which requires manually placing the type in parentheses to convert a larger type to a smaller one. Widening casting occurs from byte to double, while narrowing casting goes the opposite direction.

n 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:

Example
public class MyClass {
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
}
}

Run example »

Narrowing Casting
Narrowing casting must be done manually by placing the type in
parantheses in front of the value:

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

System.out.println(myDouble); // Outputs 9.78


System.out.println(myInt); // Outputs 9
}
}
