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
