Why Java not allowed Widening and auto-boxing in single expression?

Hi All,
I have a very small question in my mind, that I would like to put on this discussion board.
Why Java not allowed Widening and auto-boxing in single expression?
Like:
short s = 10;
Long l = s;I want to know if java allowed above expression then what problem may occur?
I know it is not a intelligent question, However still I ask for discussion.
Thanks advance for all viewer of this question.

I didn't like it at first, but it turns out my initial complaints were pretty much unfounded. I find it quite useful. It takes a fair amount of clutter out of code. The only real problem with it is that if you're not careful, you can end up doing a lot of unnecessary bouncing back and forth between primitives and wrappers without knowing it, which could hurt performance.In my opinion the biggest problem is getting NPEs at code lines, that look completely harmless. That used to bother me too, but then, if I'm writing
int i = getAnInteger();it's just a replacement for
int i = getAnInteger().intValue();which would also have caused NPE.
That is, if I'm using autoboxing properly, it's just shorthand for what I'd have been doing otherwise anyway. True, it's easy to not think about it, to forget to consider whether NPE is a possibility and what the proper approach is, but mostly, if I want int, I know it can't be null (or if it is, I should get NPE).
And when it comes time to debug the NPE, it's no great mystery, once you know the rules.
If you don't think of autoboxing at the right position, then you can spend hours after hours tracking down a trivial bug ... or so I've heard ;-)Even if you're not thinking about it when you write the code, when you see an "impossible" NPE during debugging, it should be an instant giveaway.

    The developer isn't recognized by the App Store, so your Mac is trying to protect you in case the program is malware. As long as you are sure it isn't, follow this procedure:
    In the Finder, locate the app you want to open.Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.
    Press the Control key, then click the app icon.
    Choose Open from the shortcut menu.
    Click Open.The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it, just like any registered app.

  • When I attempt to reply or forward email, it says my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    When I attempt to forward or reply emails. I get the error message that my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    Some ISPs don't really handle you mail, they pass it off to another pipeline.  That is called relaying.  Some receiving servers will not accept relayed messages, as they are frequently associated with spammers.
    In some cases, I understand aol relays within thier own system, confusing the issue a little.
    Who is you mail provider?  If it is a big name, this should not be an issue.   As a test, if you have an alternate e mail account, like gmail, try to send a message from that account and see if it goes through.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Set The Secured Files, Not allow printing and saving to another location

    Hi Alex,
    Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
    Based on my tests, users can save the document with only Read permission, which is by design. If you don’t want users to print files, please do not give the print permissions on printers.

  • What does "java not detected" mean and what should I do about it?

    I am a teacher who teaches partly online. While trying to use Screen Recorder in Kaltura Media Space to record my desktop with audio voiceover, I encountered this message in red and was not able to use this device? I am not sure what the message means or how to fix this. I am using MacOS 10.9.1 and Safari. MediaSpace is provided by our school system, so I am not able to use my iPad to do this.

    Do you have a Java Preference Pane in System Preferences? if not, Java isn't installed and from your description, it sounds like it may be required. You can also try running this Java Test.

  • Why is not allowed to use "/" in Storage bin?

    Dear experts,
    It is mentioned in the Help that "For technical reasons it is not allowed to use the special character "/"  while creating storage bins.
    Kindly let me know what is the technical reason behind this?
    regards,
    Shetty

    / is a character that is used in IDOCs to indicate that a field should be left untouched
    So it is impossible for SAP to decide whether it has to input the / or to not process this field.

  • Generics and Auto-boxing not working together

    Why does the following code produce a compile error:
    "Type mismatch: cannot convert from char to Character."
    public class X<Character> {
         private Character c;
         private Integer i;
         public X() {
              c = 'a';
              i = 12;
    }Note that if I change the class declaration to class X<Integer>, I'll get the error about converting from int to Integer, but the char error will disappear.

    I believe that the <Character> type parameter is hiding the java.lang.Character class. Your code is equivalent to this:
    public class X<T> {
         private T c;
         private Integer i;
         public X() {
              c = 'a';
              i = 12;
    }So what you really want is something like
    public class X<T> {
         private Character c;
         private Integer i;
         public X() {
              c = 'a';
              i = 12;
    }or maybe this, depending on what you're really trying to do
    public class X<T extends Character> {
         private T c;
         private Integer i;
         public X() {
              c = 'a';
              i = 12;
    }Of course, since Character is final, that doesn't really make sense either.
    Perhaps you could explain a bit more about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

    There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
    <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
    For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
    If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).

    But the cobook version on my iMac shows up on the menu bar with no contacts, and it says contacts won't allow access to Cobook.
    To get the iMac app to run, do I have to uninstall it on the ipod and re-install it on iMac first?

  • IPhoto '08 Preferences- opening but not allowing changes and freezing up

    My problem with preferences is that it does open up but when I go to change a preference it freezes up and then iPhoto stops responding all together. Can someone please help?
    Thanks!

    Valt74
    Start with the basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Not allowing copy and Paste in 7.x Webreports

    Hello,
    in our BI 7.0 System we have a lot of HR-Reports. Because of an requirement of our works committee we had to stop copy and paste in our 3.x System. Now we would like to migrate in 7.x. But if I there insert the codelines there I still can copy and paste the data. How can I stop this.
    The codeline in 3.x has been:
    <body oncontextmenu ="return  false" bgcolor  ="#fffbf0" onselectstart ="return false" ondrag="return false">
    Thanks
    Frank

    Hi Frank,
    the UI engine takes central control of events, especially context menu and others. To disable the events in the body is not really a solution. This must be deeply integrated into Unified Rendering and BI. Please write a development request for this.
