java 接口 转换,Java中的转换（接口和类）

if:

interface I{}

class A implements I{}

class B extends A{}

class C extends B{}

A a = new A();

B b = new B();

Why a = (B)(I)b; is correct

but b = (B)(I)a; is false?

I find casting to be very confusing, what is the best way to understand if I can down cast or up cast an object?

The only thing of relevance to answering the question in your coding sample is the following:

class B extends A{}

This means that B is a subclass of A. Subclasses can be cast to super class types, but super class cannot be cast to subclass types.

Therefore, A cannot be cast to type B.

Why? Think about the logic this way:

is a type of Programming_language, but Programming_language is not a type of
