Consider following statement:
byte by = 5; //works fine
literal '5' is of type int and small enough to fit into a variable of type byte. Compiler does the implicit type casting here (from int to byte).
Now consider following scenario:
float fl = 5.5; //compilation error
literal '5.5' is of type double, also small enough to fit into a variable of
type float. Why do we need to explicitly type cast like this:
float fl = (float) 5.5; //works fine
Why compiler is not doing the casting for us in case of floating points?
