What is automatic type conversion in C++?

What is automatic type conversion in C++?

Automatic type conversion, also known as implicit conversion, is when the compiler automatically converts one data type to another.

Can you give me an example of automatic type conversion?

Sure! For instance, if you assign an integer to a float variable, the integer is automatically converted to a float.

Are there any cases where automatic type conversion can lead to errors?

Yes, it can lead to data loss, especially when converting from a larger type to a smaller type, like from float to int.

How can I avoid issues with automatic type conversion?

You can use explicit type casting to control the conversion process and prevent unintended data loss.
