Type Casting in Java

Type casting means changing data type of a variable. We can do type casting in Java in two ways.

1. Implicit Type Casting
2. Explicit Type Casting

Implicit Type Casting / Widening Casting:

This type of casting is done automatically by the Java compiler when you assign a smaller data type to a larger data type. It's also known as widening casting because you are widening the data type to accommodate a larger range of values without losing information.

Explicit Type Casting / Narrowing Casting

This type of casting is performed manually by the programmer when you want to convert a larger data type to a smaller data type.
