DATATYPES:

------------
byte,short,int,long (without decimal)
float,double (with decimal)
boolean
ORDER:
------
byte < short < int < long < float < double

TYPE CASTING IN JAVA

--------------------
1) Primitive Casting : convert data from one primitive data type to another prim
itive data type

(i)Auto Widening -converting data from small sized data type to big s
ized data type
Example
-------
byte b = 10;
short s = b;
(ii)Explicit Narrowing -converting data from big sized data type to small s
ized data type
Example
-------
double d = 10.25;
float f = (float) d;
2) Derived Casting -change the type of object from one user defined data type to
another user
(i) Auto-up casting (child to parent)
change the type of object from sub class type to super class type.
(ii) Explicit-down casting (parent to child)
change the type of object from super class type to sub class type.

CLASS-CAST EXCEPTION :
----------------------
-> object is automatically upcasted to its super class type

boxing - primitive to object
----------------------------
old
===
byte b = 10;
Byte B = new Byte(b);
new
===
after 1.5 (auto boxing)
byte b = 10;
Byte B = b;
unboxing -object to primitive (xxxValue())
-------------------------------------------
old
====
Byte B = new Byte((byte) 10);
byte b = [Link]();
new
====
after 1.5 (auto unboxing)
Byte B = new Byte((byte) 10);
byte b = B;
