37. Difference between Integer and Long    forums.oracle.com

The reason you can't cast Long to Integer (note the difference between Long and long and between Integer and int) has nothing at all to do with precision.

38. Long vs. long and int vs. Integer    forums.oracle.com

Byte, Character, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, and Boolean are wrapper classes for those primitives. There are places where an object is required--for instance, adding an element to a collection. You can't use an ...

You can't cast a Long to an Integer. Same as calling your Honda a Ferrari doesn't make it so... yes Long and Integer are similar, but they are different distinct types. Maybe change your playCount to a long... loose the type cast and autoboxing (>=1.5) should take care of unpacking the Long to the pimitive long for you. Sweet. Cheers. Keith. ...

52. Is this true? "In the JVM, bytes, shorts and ints are all four bytes long."    forums.oracle.com

In the Java Virtual Machine, bytes, shorts and ints are all four bytes long. Hence, when you add two bytes together you are actually performing 32-bit arithmatic. And when you store the result back into a byte, you're not even lopping off the high 24 bits -- because the number is signed, and you need to retain the sign bit.

53. How to change a long to an int    forums.oracle.com

Maybe after the party: casting one primitive type to another primitive type doesn't need any explicit user defined method. The Java language supports 'casts' for that. If a cast is a 'widening' type, the compiler can handle it all and the cast isn't explicitly needed. If the cast is a narrowing cast, the cast needs to be explicit to keep the ...
