Narrowing conversion is needed when you convert from a larger size type to a smaller size. This is for incompatible data types, wherein automatic conversions cannot be done.Let us see an example wherein we are converting long to integer using Narrowing Conversion.Examplepublic class Demo {     public static void main(String[] args) {        long longVal = 878;        int intVal = (int) longVal;        System.out.println("Long: "+longVal);        System.out.println("Integer: "+intVal);     } }OutputLong: 878 Integer: 878Let us see another example, wherein we are converting double to long using Narrowing Conversion.Examplepublic class Demo {     public static void main(String[] args) {        double doubleVal = 299.89;        long longVal = (long)doubleVal;        System.out.println("Double: "+doubleVal); ...
