Upcasting vs Downcasting in Java With Program Example

Support Simple Snippets by Donations -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this java programming video tutorial we will study and understand the concept of Upcasting and Downcasting. We will also understand the difference between upcasting and downcasting in Java.
Upcasting in Java -
Upcasting is casting a subtype to a supertype, upward to the inheritance tree. Upcasting happens automatically and we don’t have to explicitly do anything.

Downcasting in Java -
When Subclass type refers to the object of Parent class, it is known as downcasting. If we perform it directly, compiler gives Compilation error. If you perform it by typecasting, ClassCastException is thrown at runtime.

What's the difference between downcasting and directly creating child object in java?

[Unknwn_Legend]

great video... although I had to watch it twice bcz your last examples, whether where we can use up & down casting made my concepts clear .... so I hade to give it another look to get it on

[sanketpatil]

But if I create a object of child class with reference of child class so why need to do down casting? i can access the overridden method & unique method of child by using that object
