[Bluej-discuss] Compile Error for correct code.

[Namit TClaw]

Hello, this is Namit here.

I am getting an error in the code here:

 

public class Test

{

public static void display()

{

            byte b=50;

            b=b*2;

            System.out.println(b);

}
}

 

The Error shown is:possible loss of precision in the line:b=b*2;

A peculiar feature is that if I write : b*=2 , it works perfectly fine.

            

            I don't know what is the reason for this. Can anyone explain why
it is happening???

 

 

Regards,

Namit.
