What is type casting in C++?

What is type casting in C++?

Type casting in C++ is the conversion of one data type into another. It can be done explicitly or implicitly.

Can you explain the difference between implicit and explicit type casting?

Sure! Implicit type casting is done automatically by the compiler, while explicit type casting requires the programmer to specify the conversion.

What are some examples of type casting in C++?

Examples include converting an int to a float or a char to an int. You can use static_cast, dynamic_cast, etc.

When should I use static_cast over dynamic_cast?

Use static_cast when you are sure of the types at compile time, and dynamic_cast when you need runtime type checking.
