14. type casting    coderanch.com

I would mention two principles here that are useful: 1. Vector is old and kind of discouraged. Avoid its use unless there is legacy code which you must add your code to. 2. Use Collections 2 and always strive to use references of the base-interface type. E.g., List list = // new ArrayList(); public List getItems(){...} This way, the implementation can ...

Ramu: If you want to convert a primitive type into an object, you would normally use one of the type wrappers built into java.lang. These include Integer Double Float Byte Short Long Char Here is an example. class Test { public static void main(String arg[]) { // This creates an Integer object having the value 10. Integer iObj = new Integer(10); ...

toString method returns some String representation of an object. In your own classes you could override this method to return some useful information. Look at Thread.

17. type casting Vs narrowing    coderanch.com

18. reference type casting    coderanch.com

Sure there are specific rules. If you want the nitty-gritty details you can read the Java Language Specification. In a nut shell, you must use a cast when you are assigning a variable of a general type to a more specific type. For example, if you want to assign a long value to an int or a int to a byte, ...

19. Type casting    coderanch.com

This is what the Java Language Specification says about assignment conversions. Assignment conversion occurs when the value of an expression is assigned (15.26) to a variable: the type of the expression must be converted to the type of the variable. Assignment contexts allow the use of an identity conversion (5.1.1), a widening primitive conversion (5.1.2), or a widening reference conversion (5.1.4). ...

20. Doubt on Type casting    coderanch.com

A byte is a signed, 8-bit integer in Java, so it can hold values between -128 and 127. The Java compiler is smart. When you initialize a byte variable with a literal integer value, the compiler checks if it is in the range -128 to 127. So a statement like: byte b = 6; works without problems. If the literal integer ...

25. type casting issue    coderanch.com

26. Regarding type casting    coderanch.com

Note that this is not type-casting. You are constructing a new object. Type casting is for object references or primitives. For object references, you type cast when you have declared a reference as a superclass, but you know that the object it points to is actually of some subclass. For primitives, you type cast when you want to force the primitive ...

27. Why this type of Cast isn't allowed?    coderanch.com

A lot of things are only obvious right after you know them. Don't stop asking questions! When you use casting you do things that are risky but possible. The compiler just wants your assurance that you've recognized the risk and decided to take it. When the compiler finds a number of the right size and format like 800 it figures it's ...

For example: a boolean type could be "true", "y", "yes", "1" etc. In the case of Booleans ...

33. What is Type Casting    coderanch.com

34. Type casting    coderanch.com

A literal numeric value, like 3249, is an int. If you need to assign a literal numeric value to a narrower type, and the value is outside that type's range, then you (the programmer) must supply an explicit cast. This is required because you are losing information, which might give undexpected results. By supplying the explict cast, you (the programmer) are ...

we promise the compiler that the object we're casting is in fact of the type we're casting to. if we lie, the JVM spanks us with a ClassCastException. all you're really doing is making a reference of one type point to an object of another type. it's up to you to make sure it makes sense
