can u give an example of explicit cast? -----Original Message----- From: RAMESH VISHNUVARDHAN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 12:18 PM To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] RE: [jdjlist] casting
When you assign a variable of parent class type to an object of subclass, the implicit casting occurs. Example: java.util.Date parentDate = null; parentDate = new java.sql.Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime()); The above code is valid. Here we no need to do explicit casting .
