Distinguish between implicit and explicit type conversion in Java, with an example of each.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Implicit conversion, or widening, is done automatically by the compiler when a smaller type is assigned to a larger one, as in "double d = 5;". Explicit conversion, or casting, must be written by the programmer when a larger type is assigned to a smaller one and data may be lost, as in "int n = (int) 5.75;", which stores 5.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Casting a double to an int truncates rather than rounds.
