casting required??

[sonir shah]

class Super { }
class Sub extends Super { }
public class TestClass
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Super s1 = new Super(); //1
Sub s2 = new Sub(); //2
s1 = (Super) s2; //3
}
}

Ans : It will compile and run without any errors
Explaination : SubClass can ALWAYS be assigned to a Super Class without any cast.
Does this sentence mean the line//3 given in the code can be replaced by saying :
s1=s2;

Yes, but you could have easily figured that out yourself by deleting the cast and recompiling the code. For future reference, please read this thread for general posting guidelines: http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/013803.html
Thanks for your cooperation.
