Given public class fishing { byte b1 = 4; int i1 = 123456; long l1 = (long) i1; //line a short s2 = (short) i1; //line b byte b2 = (byte) i1; //line c int i2 = (int)123.456; //line d byte b3 = b1 + 7; //line e } which lines will not compile? (choose all that apply)

Line E.

Explanation:

The  given program is as follows:

public class Fishing {

   byte b1 = 4; int i1 = 123456; long L1 = (long) i1;   //Line A

   short s2 = (short) i1;     //Line B

   byte b2 = (byte) i1;     //Line C

   int i2 = (int)123.456;    //Line D

   byte b3 = b1 + 7;     //Line E

   }

In the above code Line E will not compile and give following compilation error:

error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from int to byte

This error is coming because in Java b1 + 7 will be interpreted as int variable expression. Therefore in order to make code of Line E work the expression should be type casted as byte.  

The correct code will be as follows:

public class Fishing {

   byte b1 = 4; int i1 = 123456; long L1 = (long) i1;   //Line A

   short s2 = (short) i1;     //Line B

   byte b2 = (byte) i1;     //Line C

   int i2 = (int)123.456;    //Line D

   byte b3 = (byte)(b1 + 7);     //Line E

   }

the answer will be d

you, i'm trying to get a higher rank, this really ! : )
