Question

hey guys i am knew to javafx and i am trying to cast a BorderPane to an anchronPane, meanwhile an error occured and i don t know what to do, i was following a tutorial so pl

Answer 1

BorderPane extends Pane

AnchorPane extends Pane

They extend the same class but are different classes and generate different objects that can not be casted into each other.

Practical example

Lion extends BigCat

Tiger extends BigCat

How would you cast a Lion to a Tiger ?
