What is Explicit Type Casting?
Explicit Type Casting involves converting a value from one data type to another through explicit instruction within the code. Unlike implicit casting, where the conversion occurs automatically, explicit casting requires the programmer to specify the desired type explicitly. This level of control offers several advantages, including precision, clarity, and avoidance of unintended behavior.
Explicit Type Casting
In programming, Data Types play a crucial role in defining the behavior and characteristics of variables. However, situations often arise where we need to convert data from one type to another. This process is known as Type Casting or Type Conversion. In this blog, we’ll understand Explicit Type Casting, exploring its applications, advantages, pitfalls, and best practices.
