Introduction
When trying to store an object of one type in a variable of another type, an implicit cast may take place. In other circumstances, we must cast an object explicitly:
int number = 14;
short secondNumber = (short)number; // Explicit cast due to shrinking
int anotherNumber = secondNumber; // Implicit cast due to expansion
It would be ideal if we could control the ...
