yeah... that cleared my doubt of down casting.

@KevinWorkman , Can u explain with example what is ur understanding of downcasting. Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have 2 classes Animal and Cat. And Cat extends Animal class.
Animal aa = new Animal();
Cat cc = new Cat();

//Downcasting code
if(aa instanceof Cat)
{
Cat c1 = (Cat)aa;

Hi,

Is downcasting possible in Java?? Googled for "Downcasting", everyone says it fails at run time.. So is there a way to achieve downcasting??
