Hi, I do not understand that this following code compiles just fine
char c = 5;
int i = 10;
c +=i;
But this
char c = 5;
int i = 10;
c = c + i;
give a compile error: possible loss of precision...
What's a difference between those two assignments?

See here. A compound assignment operator like += includes an implied cast, which is missing in your second example.
