Hi @Shobhan,
Sir said that a short data type cannot be stored in a byte data type because short has a size of 2 bytes and byte data type has a size of 1 byte.
Take this in money terms … Let short be two rupee coin and byte be one rupee coin.So we cannot use 1 rupee coin to buy a item worth 2 rupee but we can buy a item worth 1 rupee using a 2 rupee coin. In the similar way we can store a small size data type in a big size data type but cannot store a big sized data type into a small size data type. Hope the money analogy is not misleading because the logic is simple. Or you can think of it as a container analogue. A 2L vessel may store 1L oil but a 1L vessel cannot store 2L oil as the oil will overflow.
You may be getting a misleading idea because byte is a data type and also a variable used to denote size. Short is made up of 2 bytes. Hope this will not confuse you as i tried to explain it nicely.
