Question 21What is the difference between implicit type conversion and explicit type conversion?

Question

Accepted Answer

Implicit Type ConversionExplicit Type ConversionAn 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, 25.5c = a + bExample:a, b = 5, 25.5c = int(a + b)
