9 / 10Java-literals and and wrapper classesHardJava

Given `Short s = 5;` which of the following expressions is allowed without explicit casting?

  1. Short t = s + 5;

  2. boolean b = s == 5;

  3. short t = s + 5;

  4. s += 5;

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

boolean b = s == 5;

Explanation

Java allows unboxing of `Short` to `short`, but arithmetic operations on `short` promote to `int`. Therefore `s + 5` results in `int`, which cannot be assigned to `Short` without cast. `s == 5` compares the unboxed `short` to `int`, allowed due to numeric promotion.
