1. upcast

   Upcast refers to the process in programming where an object of a subtype is converted into an object of a supertype. This is typically done in object-oriented programming languages such as Java or C#. Upcasting is generally safe as it's converting a specialized type to a more generalized type. It is the opposite of downcasting, which converts an object from a supertype to a subtype.
