Type Casting in Java: Explanation & Practice

Problem summary

You receive a price as 29.99 (double) but need to display it as an integer (rounded down).

Starter code

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double price = 29.99;
        
        // Cast to int and print: Rounded price: $29
    }
}

Expected output and test cases

• Cast double to int

  Rounded price: $29

Hints

1. Use (int) before a double to cast it to integer
2. Casting to int truncates (removes) the decimal part
3. The syntax is: (targetType)value
