Type Casting in Java ( Java Part -3 )

Type Casting in Java 

Type casting is the practice of converting a data type from one type to another. In Java there are two type of type conversions. The type casting is fully similar to that of type conversion in C and C++.

1. Widening Casting : - This is used to convert from smaller range data type to larger range datatype. Generally these are done automatically.
byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double

2 Narrowing Casting :- This is used to convert from larger data type to smaller data type. Generally this type of type conversion is done manually.
double -> float -> long -> int -> char -> short -> byte

Something about me  H ey peeps, its me Abhishek and it's my first blog ever . I wanted to write something about me, but you know there are people about whom you can write about a trillion lines about their deeds, achievements and there are some people like me, having no achievements and nothing to write about, a single line would be too long I guess lol. Jokes apart, through this blog I will convey and provide all the study materials, which I could gather in my B-tech college life.

Bubble Sort ( C & Python 3)

Bubble Sort Algorithm Bubble Sort   is a simple algorithm which is used to sort a given set of  n   elements provided in form of an array with  n  number of elements. Bubble Sort compares all the element one by one and sort them based on their values. If the given array has to be sorted in ascending order, then bubble sort will start by comparing the first element of the array with the second element, if the first element is greater than the second element, it will  swap   both the elements, and then move on to compare the second and the third element, and so on. If we have tota l   n   elements, then we need to repeat this process for  n-1  times. It is known as  bubble sort , because with every complete iteration the largest element in the given array, bubbles up towards the last place or the highest index, just like a water bubble rises up to the water surface. Sorting takes place by stepping through all the el...

Malloc Function ( Dynamic Memory Allocation Part - 2 )

-
Defination The malloc allocates a block of memory in the heap and a pointer is to be declared at the stack of the memory which would contain the base address of the heap's first memory byte and would permanently point at it. During runtime of the program the memory is accessed not directly but through pointers which have declared in the stack. The address returned is in the form of a void pointer address, which is to be type casted according to convenience of the user. So malloc returns a null pointer. Malloc function is declared under stdlib.h library. So include this in the program in the section of the header files, to avoid getting a warning or syntax error in certain compilers. The general syntax of the malloc function is : < data_type> *pointer; pointer  = ( < type casting * > ) malloc(< byte_size >) For storing float in the dynamic memory we can use :  float *pointer; pointer= ( float* )malloc(5*sizeof( float )) A program using m...
