What is the widest valid returnType for methodA in line 3?
public class ReturnIt
{
returnType methodA(byte x, double y) /* Line 3 */
{
return (long)x / y * 2;
}
}
Answer: A
However A, B and C are all wrong. Each of these would result in a narrowing conversion. Whereas we want a widening conversion, therefore the only correct answer is D. Don't be put off by the long cast, this applies only to the variable x and not the rest of the expression. It is the variable y (of type double) that forces the widening conversion to double.
Java's widening conversions are:
- From a byte to a short, an int, a long, a float, or a double.
- From a short, an int, a long, a float, or a double.
- From a char to an int, a long, a float, or a double.
- From an int to a long, a float, or a double.
- From a long to a float, or a double.
- From a float to a double.
