Type Casting In Java

Java Type Casting 

•     Type casting is a way of converting data from one data type to another data type. This process of data conversion is also known as type conversion.

There are two types of Casting in Java

1) Widening Casting 

2) Narrowing Casting 



Widening Casting:  In this type, Java automatically converts one data type to another data type. Widening typecasting is also known as Implicit conversion or Casting down.

Narrowing Casting: In this type, the programmer manually converts one data type to another datatype using Round brackets. Narrowing typecasting is also known as Explicit Conversion or Casting up.
