Why getting compile error "cannot convert from ing to byte " in this code ? :-

byte a = 5; byte b = 5; byte c = a+b;

byte a = 5; byte b = 5; byte c = (byte )(a+b); System.out.println(c); while adding 2 byte variable java promotes them to int... a+b is a int type though...a,b are individually byte variable.. you need to convert the sum again into byte... like the third line...

Instead of "byte" you need to put "int"

You need specifically typecast it to byte In Java, every non floating number is by default of int type. So when you added two byte variables (a+b) then it became a int value. To overcome it, just typecast it like this byte c = (byte)(a+b);
