Widening Conversions of primitives

[Khamon Mann]

I've noticed that starting with "int", the wideners, in order add one byte to the name of the primitive, like this:
int(3)->long(4)->float(5)->double(6)
Kinda stupid memorization tool, I know, but there it is.
Then you just have to remember the 2 paths to int:
char->int & byte->short->int
and you've got it.

[Shubhangi A. Patkar]

Narayana,
int(3 char long...)
long(4 char long...)
float(5 char long...)
double(6 char long...)
That is what is meant by
int(3)->long(4)->float(5)->double(6)
