Q:

Can we cast an int value into byte variable? what will happen if the value of int is larger than byte?

Answer 1

Yes, we can cast but int is 32 bit long in java while byte is 8 bit long in java so when you cast an int to byte higher 24 bits are lost and a byte can only hold a value from -128 to 128.
