An unboxing action is performed, not a cast. There is no casting whatsoever involved in either this question or your answer.

So, either the statement "you cannot cast an Object to a primitive" is irrelevant because you can't cast a float to a byte , either, or, if we accept the looser meaning, is incorrect because you can apply the "cast" operator to Float and get a float. He got no such thing; he got a compiler error, and the error message uses the term "cast" in the looser sense most probably, because in the strict sense the statement is also correct.

They are the chrysalis of a maggot — a shell-like pupae that contains the soon-to-emerge fly. Casters are slightly smaller than maggots and their shape is a lot more rounded. They are available at all good tackle shops and, like maggots, are sold by the pint. Casters are a superb bait that always tends to pick off the larger fish.

To make a pint of casters you will need just over a pint of maggots — to take into account those that will die. The best maggots to use to create casters are white maggots. When you get your white maggots home riddle them thoroughly and pick off any dead maggots and maggot skins by hand.

You will now be left with a few maggots that have slowed their wriggling down and have started to transform into casters.

These should be tipped into a spare clean bait box and covered with folded sheets of damp newspaper, with the lid placed upon the box.

Do not use dripping wet newspaper as the water may gather at the base of the bait box and suffocate some of the casters at the bottom. The best place to store these soon-to-be-casters is in a fridge.
