Value conversions

In this section, we immerse ourselves in the intricate realm of value conversions within the JVM. These conversions serve as the chameleons of the bytecode landscape, enabling variables to transform their types gracefully by allowing integers to stretch into longs and floats to transcend into doubles without compromising the fidelity of their original values. The bytecode instructions that facilitate these metamorphoses are crucial in maintaining precision, preventing data loss, and ensuring the seamless integration of different data types. Join us as we dissect these instructions, uncovering the symphony of elegance and accuracy that underpins Java programming:

• Integer to long (i2l): Explore how the i2l instruction promotes an integer variable to a long, preserving the original value’s precision
• Integer to float (i2f): Delve into the world of i2f, where an integer gracefully transforms into a float without sacrificing precision
• Integer to double...
