Hi,
Can anyone please tell me why line 9 gives an error but line 10 doesn't. Isn't C1+=1 the same as C1=C1+1?
The explaination for the answer is:
"We can apply ++ operator on char values it will do increament on its ascii value i.e. it will make A to B.We can also apply += operator as it also do implicit casting.But the statement "c1=c1+1" is not valid as we required casting to store an int value into a variable of type char".
But I don't see why... it is that on line 9 the number 1 is converted to a character and on line 10 C1 is converted to an integer? If the number 1 on line 9 is an interger, is it possible to implicitly convert it to a character, so that it can be stored in C1 which is defined as a char?
1 class Char
2 {
3 public static void main(
String arg[])
4 {
5 char c1,c2;
6 c1='A';
7 c1++;
8 c1+=1;
9 c1=c1+1;
10 c2='B';
11 c2--;
12 c2=c2-1;
13 }
14 }
Thanks,
