Java learning: possible lossy conversion from int to short
fault code short s = 5; s = s - 2; error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from int to short s = s - 2; ^ 1 error Correct code // why below line ok ? ask java compiler. s -= 2; s = (short)(s - 2); Java report error while c/c++ do not even display a warning message in fact, c++ do the same things like Java do: Automatic promotion of shot to int, but implicit the conversion.
