Research direction

Locate the type-casting section referenced in the issue and inspect how its current example is presented. Update the example to show the value before and after casting, display its type, and demonstrate the error for an invalid implicit cast; done means the rendered lesson clearly shows these results.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to see type casting shown before and after the type casting, and the error that would appear if tried to do implicit when explicit is needed

Describe the solution you'd like
i think in this section, if it was active code and it showed the data type using text.getClass().getSimpleName() just to show that it changed
