What is numeric promotion (CoreJava)

Question :What is numeric promotion? (CoreJava)
Answer :Numeric promotion is the conversion of a smaller numeric type to a larger
numeric type, so that integer and floating-point operations may take place.
In numerical promotion, byte, char, and short values are converted to int
values. The int values are also converted to long values, if necessary. The
long and float values are converted to double values, as required
