No No No…. I don't agree with you. Programming languages got a lot of enhancements in the last decades. For example, Java provide the following (coated from Java Spec Book)

"Numeric promotions are conversions that change an operand of a numeric operation to a wider type, or both operands of a numeric operation to a common type, so that an operation can be performed."

Example:

Short + Double + Int

Will be converted:

Double + Double + Double

Don't tell me that I should not be "Lazy Programmer", and I should do the following:

(double) Short + (double) Double + (double) Int
