What is Type Casting?
Converting one data type value to another data type is called type casting. It is two types
- Implicit Casting(Automatic)
- Explicit Casting(Manual)
IMPLICIT CONVERSION
Automatically converts from one data type to another without
a programmer intervention
Compiler directly converts from smaller to larger size data type(
char-int-long-float-double).
Sample Program for example:
EXPLICIT CONVERSION
Manually converting from one data type to another(double-float-long-int-char ) is called explicit casting.
Sample Program for example:
Other
available Explicit conversion available are
We have some inbuilt methods for Explicit conversion, which is given below with a clear example
Convert.ToInt32(int)Convert.ToInt64(long)
Convert.ToBoolean,
Convert.ToDouble,
Convert.ToString.
Sample Program for example:
