The following are data type conversions that would be performed when initializing variables. Which one may lose information in the conversion process?

    1. From an int to a long
    1. From a byte to an int
    1. From a short to a byte
    1. From an int to a double

  5. 5) All of the above

E Correct answer
Explanation

Widening conversions (int to long, byte to int, int to double) never lose information because the target type has equal or greater range. A short to byte conversion can lose information if the short value exceeds byte's range (-128 to 127). Since option C may lose data, 'all of the above' is correct.
