  • TYPE CASTING  is nothing but the new way of converting a data type of one variable to some other datatype. typecasting is characterized into  two types 
    IMPLICIT TYPECASTING: in this implicit typecasting done by the compiler and there is no loss of information
    EXPLICIT TYPECASTING: in this explicit typecasting is done by the programmer and there will be a loss of information.
    EXAMPLE:
    float x=5.5;
    int y=(int)x;
    in this code, the second statement will typecast the x from float to integer value and the value of y will be 5, however, there will be no change on the original x value.

  • Type casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type. For example, if you want to store a 'long' value into a simple integer then you can type cast 'long' to 'int'. You can convert the values from one type to another explicitly using the cast operator as follows −
    (type_name) expression

  • To convert data from one data type to another data type. Implicit is conversion from higher data type to lower data type and explicit is converting from lower to higher data type

  • type casting is a process of converting the variable from one datatype to another datatype. ex: we are declaring variable m as int. int m; we want to change the variable to float as placing the (float) datatype to the variable. int m=10; float p; p=(float)m; The output is m=10 and p=10.0 The output is

  • Type casting is process of converting the date type of a variable into the other data type.
    for ex.
    int a=12;
    float c=(float)a/3.0
    the answer will be 4.0

  • The process of converting one datatype to another data type is known as type casting
    example:
    float f=3.14;
    int p=(int)f/2;
    the value in p is 1

  • Type casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type. For example, if you want to store a 'long' value into a simple integer then you can type cast 'long' to 'int'. for example; int sum = 17, count = 5; double mean; mean = (double) sum / count;

  • Type casting means "type/datatype conversion " in program ..
    Typecasting is a way of converting the datatype of one variable to some other datatype. It is of two types—implicit (done by compiler) and explicit(done by programmer).In implicit typecasting,there is no loss of information but inexplicit(which is often done by us)some information is lost. For example—
    float x=8.6;
    int y =(int)x ;
    What the second statement will do, it will typecast the x from float to integer value and the value of y will be 8 however there will be no change on the original x (it will remain 8.6).

  • Type Casting  --  It is a method/process which is used to change one data type into another data type. It is also known as Type conversion. It is of two types -
    1. Implicit  - The conversion of data type automatically by the compiler is called Implicit
    type casting. 
    ex -       int x = 10  , 
                char y = 'a'  ,  
                 x = x + y  ( here y is implicitly converted into int type)            

    2.Explicit - The conversion of data type by the user or forced conversion of data type is called Explicit type casting.
    ex -             double x = 1.4 ,   
                       int sum = (int)x + 2   ( here x is explicitly converted from double to int )

  • Type casting is the way of converting variable of one data type into another data type,suppose u have long variable and u want to convert it into int then u have to perform long to int conversion. u can use caste operator:
    (type_name) expresion

  • type casting is converting one datatype into another data type. There are teo types of type casting.
    1) implicit typecasting
    It is done automatocally by the compliter .Programmer doesnt worry about it. when the existing datatype size is less that than the desired datatype,then this typecasting is done. eg if int datatype  variable want to change into float. int takes 2 bytes and float takes 4 bytes. So 4 < 2.and it is done implicitly
    2) Explicit 
    eg let float datatype variable wants to change into int.
     float a;
    int b;
    b=int(a)//i want to assign value of a to b.

  • Type casting is a way to convert one data type into another data type.
    Eg:
    int i=17;
    char c='c';
    int sum;
    sum=i+c;
    printf("%d is the sum",sum);
    the output will be : 116 is the sum
    here it will take the asci value of c.

  • When we assign a value of one data type to the variable of different data type,type conversion must be done in order to match the destination data type.This is known as type casting. syntax: variable1=(variable1 data type)variable2; int variable1; double variable2; variable1=(int)variable2;//type casting of variable2 from double data type to int data type eg:- #include main() { int sum = 17, count = 5; double mean; mean = (double) sum / count;//typecasting printf("Value of mean : %f\n", mean ); }
