explicit casting

// Explicit casting is manually casting a variable to another type

double x = 1.1;
int y = x + 2; // This won't work, because x is a double and y an integer.

// So instead do it like this:
double x = 1.1;
int y = (int)x + 2;

Explicit conversion casting

short a=2000;
int b;
b = (int) a;    // c-like cast notation
b = int (a);    // functional notation

what is explicit casting

/*
Type Casting Types in Java
   Java Type Casting is classified into two types.
       - Widening Casting (Implicit) – Automatic Type Conversion
       - Narrowing Casting (Explicit) – Need Explicit Conversion
