code:
public class AnotherDirtyOne
{
private final int i =10;
private byte k = i;
}

compiles cleanly, but the code
public class AnotherDirtyOne
{
int i =10;
byte k = i;
}
gives compiler error requiring explicit cast for byte k=i
why does code 1 compile correctly?

Chetan,
I think Ajith gave a very good explanation here:

Hope this helps.
