Question about the task

Under discussion

I made the minimum required changes to the fields by reducing each value by 1. Now all the numbers fit the type but it still doesn't pass. Original code

package en.codegym.task.pro.task09.task0901;

/*
Integer literals
*/

public class Solution {
    public byte b = 128;
    public short s = 32768;
    public int i = 1_234_567_890L;
    public long l = 2_345_678_900;
}

Four public fields, corresponding to the four integer types, are declared in the Solution class.
When declared, these fields are initialized with various values stored in integer literals.

But the program doesn't compile, and you need to fix it. To do this, make the fewest possible changes to the values of the fields so that the type of each variable matches the type of the integer literal.
You can only change the sign and type of each literal, not the digits or their order.

Requirements:

Change the literal used to initialize the b field in accordance with the task conditions.
Change the literal used to initialize the s field in accordance with the task conditions.
Change the literal used to initialize the i field in accordance with the task conditions.
Change the literal used to initialize the l field in accordance with the task conditions.

package en.codegym.task.pro.task09.task0901; /* Integer literals */ public class Solution { public byte b = 127; public short s = 32767; public int i = 1_234_567_889; public long l = 2_345_678_900L; }

You didn't respect the requirements. You changed the literals. Try using this syntax byte b=(byte)128; and short s=(short)32768; it converts the literal to the type in the (), here to byte and short. I don't quite master the process of conversion but no matter the literal value, the output will be a byte and a short.

Note the last sentence: "You can only change the sign and type of each literal, not the digits or their order."

I am an old member and I did not do this new "pro" version of the course. We - in the old system - didn't have exactly the same task. So we don't know what the original code was in this task, and we don't know what you changed in it. If you press the "reset solution" button and share the original unsolved task, we could help you more.

Maybe CG didn't want you to change the literal itself. Imagine the variable s being a radius or some amount of money. You wouldn't want it to change. You would want the program to be able to save that value correctly.
