376: Mainline

Note that you do not need to perform a cast, of the sort you learned about in Segment 93, if you want a program to compare an integer with a floating-point number. Java will perform the cast automatically, as illustrated by the following program:

public class Demonstrate { 
 public static void main (String argv[]) { 
  int i = 50; double d = 50.0; 
  System.out.println(i == d); 
  System.out.println(i != d); 
 } 
} 
--- Result --- 
true 
false
