Answer / vijayakumar chinnasamy
Casting means converting values from one data type to
other data type.For example to convert the int values to
float type vlaues.
Types of casting:
1. Downcasting -source is larger than destination type
2. upcasting - Source is smaller than destination type.
casting can be applicable to both primitive type and Object
type.
primitive type - convert numeral to floating point and vice
versa.
Object type - converting from subclass to super class or
vice versa.
superClassObj = subClassObj;

Answer / rajashree
Casting is a mass production process which involves molten
materials (such as metals, plastics or resins) being poured
into a mold, allowed to solidify and then extracted for
use. Casting can be thought of as a method for reproducing
something - whether a mere part or a single unit by itself.
Casting is a process that can be used to manufacture
complex parts which would prove too expensive or time-
consuming to produce using other methods such as cutting or
shaping these from solid materials.
