Implicit Type Casting Examples

Implicit type casting happens automatically by the programming language. It converts a value from one type to another without any explicit instruction from the programmer. Here are some examples:

Integer to Floating Point:

Python3

int_num = 5
float_num = int_num  # Implicitly converts int to float

Smaller Data Type to Larger Data Type:

Java

int num = 10;
double result = num;  // Implicitly converts int to double

Character to Integer:

C

char letter = 'A';
int ascii_value = letter;  // Implicitly converts char to int

Boolean to Integer:

C++

bool flag = true;
int num = flag;  // Implicitly converts bool to int

Implicit and Explicit type casting

In programming, type casting is a way to convert data from one type to another. Implicit type casting happens automatically, while explicit type casting requires manual intervention. This article explores the differences between implicit and explicit type casting, their uses, benefits, and considerations in programming.
