Explicit type conversion in C | Casting in C
It is the way to convert the output of an arithmetic expression into a specific data type. The syntax of casting is:
(Data_Type) Arithmetic_Expression
Data_Type is any data type of C in which we want to convert the output of an expression.
Arithmetic_Expression is any arithmetic expression of C which we want to convert into a particular data type.
| Program for explicit conversion. |
| #include<stdio.h> int main() { int a,b; float c; a=11; b=4; c=(float)a/b; /*Line 8*/ printf(“\nc=%f”,c); return(0); } |
| Output |
| c=2.75 |
| Description |
| In line 8 a and b int type variables. so result of a/b should be of int type i.e. 2 but due to casting by float result would become 2.75. |
