Which is an example of type casting in Java?
Java Type Casting 1 Type Casting.

How does narrowing type casting work in Java?
In the case of Narrowing Type Casting, the higher data types (having larger size) are converted into lower data types (having smaller size). Hence there is the loss of data. This is why this type of conversion does not happen automatically. Note: This is also known as Explicit Type Casting.
How do you downcast an object in Java?
Downcasting is done using cast operator. To downcast an object safely, we need instanceof operator. If the real object doesn’t match the type we downcast to, then ClassCastException will be thrown at runtime. There’s another way to cast objects using the methods of Class:
Is there another way to cast an object in Java?
There’s another way to cast objects using the methods of Class: In the above example, cast () and isInstance () methods are used instead of cast and instanceof operators correspondingly. It’s common to use cast () and isInstance () methods with generic types.
