Abstract

This chapter covers how to define custom type conversions for an object. As seen in the following example, a class called MyNum is created with a single int field and a constructor. With a custom type conversion, it becomes possible to allow an int to be implicitly converted to an object of this class.

class MyNum {   public int val;   public MyNum(int i) { val = i; } }
