C# Implicit/Explicit Type Conversion

Question

I have a simple scenario that may or may not be possible. I have a class that contains an integer, for this purpose I\'ll make it as simple as possible:

pub         


        

Answer 1

Implicit type conversion: Implicit type conversion takes place between smaller to larger integral types but not vice-versa or between derived class and base class. Conversion takes place in type safe manner by C# and no data loss takes place. For example,

int a = 10;
long b = a;
float f = a;

Explicit type conversion: Explicit type conversion done by using built-in C# functions. Data may be lost while explicit type conversion, means if we convert double to int then precision may be lost. Explicit type conversion require casting. To do a casting, need to specify the type that you are casting to in front of the value or variable to be converted.

For example,

double d = 10.20;
int a = (int)d;
//Output: 10
