Question Question 12
What is the difference between implicit type conversion and explicit type conversion?
Answer
| Implicit Type Conversion | Explicit Type Conversion |
|---|---|
| An implicit type conversion is automatically performed by the compiler when differing data types are intermixed in an expression. | An explicit type conversion is user-defined conversion that forces an expression to be of specific type. |
| An implicit type conversion is performed without programmer's intervention. | An explicit type conversion is specified explicitly by the programmer. |
| Example: a, b = 5, 25.5 c = a + b | Example: a, b = 5, 25.5 c = int(a + b) |
