What are type conversions in C++?

What are type conversions in C++?

Type conversions in C++ refer to the process of converting a variable from one data type to another. This can be done implicitly or explicitly.

Can you explain implicit and explicit conversions?

Sure! Implicit conversions happen automatically by the compiler, while explicit conversions require a cast operator to convert types.

What are some examples of implicit conversions?

Examples include converting an int to a float or a char to an int. The compiler handles these conversions without any additional code.

And what about explicit conversions?

Explicit conversions, or type casting, require you to specify the type you want to convert to, like using (float)myInt to convert an integer to a float.
