hi all the follwing code is giving compilation error Byte e = new Byte(7); here value passed is with in range of byte but still its asking for external casting from int ot byte
Fix it with new Byte((int)7). <-- wrong! Fix it with new Byte((byte)7). Check the java.lang.Byte class' constructors in the Java API documentation. [ February 27, 2003: Message edited by: Barry Gaunt ]
Byte class constructor needs byte value as its parameter so in the above example i passed 7 which is in range of byte value, it still asks for explicit type cast into byte value taking 7 as integer hope i made my doubt clear thanks
Hi Aruna, 7 is an integer. If you want your code to run, it should be declared either as byte b = 7; Byte b1 = new Byte(b); (or) Byte b = new Byte((byte)7); hope this helps Sri
I've just woken up with the thought in my head that something was not quite correct about my post above. Sorry Aruna, that cast should have been to byte and not to int. Thanks to Sri for correcting me. -Barry
Yes, it was either not thinking what I was typing, or not typing what I was thinking. But it's getting bad when I wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly had that horrible suspicion I had messed up.
