The Type Promotion Rules |
---|
Java defines several type promotion rules that apply to expressions. They are as follows: First, all byte, short, and char values are promoted to int, as just described. Then, if one operand is a long, the whole expression is promoted to long. If one operand is a float, the entire expression is promoted to float. If any of the operands is double, the result is double. |
class Promote { public static void main(String args[]) { byte b = 42; char c = 'a'; short s = 1024; int i = 50000; float f = 5.67f; double d = .1234; double result = (f * b) + (i / c) - (d * s); System.out.println((f * b) + " + " + (i / c) + " - " + (d * s)); System.out.println("result =" + result); } }
