Java Type Casting:-

Typecasting means that when we assign a one primitive data type to another data type.

There are two types of casting:-

• Implicit Type Casting.
• Explicit Type Casting.

Implicit Type Casting:-

• When we convert smaller data type into a bigger data type.
• It can be done automatically.
• It is also known as “Widening Casting”.
• byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double.

Example

 class MyClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    int myInt = 25;

    double myDouble = myInt; // Automatic casting: int to double



    System.out.println(myInt);      // Outputs 25

    System.out.println(myDouble);   // Outputs 25.0

  }

}

Explicit Type Casting:-

• When we convert bigger data type into a smaller data type that type of casting is known as explicating typecasting.
• It can be done manually. 
• It is also known as “Narrowing Casting”.
• double -> float -> long -> int -> char -> short -> byte.

Example

 class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    double myDouble = 22.71;
    int myInt = (int) myDouble; // Manual casting: double to int
    System.out.println(myDouble);   // Output: 22.71
    System.out.println(myInt);      // Outputs 22
  }
}
