Type Casting in Java

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
