Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Primitive Conversion

The video tutorial explains type conversion in programming, focusing on widening and narrowing conversions. Widening conversion involves converting a smaller data type to a larger one, which is generally straightforward. However, precision issues can arise when converting integers to floats. Narrowing conversion, which involves converting a larger data type to a smaller one, requires explicit casting and can lead to overflow or underflow errors. The tutorial provides examples and highlights the importance of understanding these conversions to avoid unexpected results.

What is the difference between widening conversion and narrowing conversion?

Explain how a widening conversion works with an example.
