Implicit type Conversion in C | Automatic type conversion in C

It is the predefined method of C due to which, the output of an arithmetic expression is converted into a particular data type.  Rule says that output of expression will be of data type having highest number of bytes and range.

For example In an arithmetic expression if one operand is of int type and other of float type, the output will be of float type because  float has larger range of values compared to int .

Rules of implicit conversion are:

operand1 operand2 Output
short short short
short int int
short long long
short float float
short double double
short long double long double
short char short
int int int
int long long
int float float
int double double
int long double long double
int char int
long long long
long float float
long double double
long long double long double
long char long
     
float float float
float double double
float long double long double
float char float
     
double double double
double long double long double
double char double
     
long double long double long double
long double char long double
     
char char char



 Program to demonstrate implicit conversion in C Language.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a,b,c;
float d, e;
a=11;
b=4;
c=a/b;                                    /*Line 1*/
printf(“\nc=%d”,c);
d=a/b;                                    /*Line 2*/
printf(“\nd=%f”,d);
e=a/d;                                    /*Line 3*/
printf(“\ne=%f”,e);
c=a/d;                                    /*Line 4*/
printf(“\nc=%d”,c);
return(0);
}
Output:
c=2
d=2.000000
e=2.75
c=2
Description
** In line 1, a and b are int variable so result of a/b is of int type i.e. 2. so c  contains 2.

In line 2, a and b are int type variables so result of a/b is of int type i.e. 2. but it is assigned to float variable d. So d will contain 2.000000.

In line 3, a is int and d is float type variable so result of a/b is of float type i.e. 2.75. It is assigned to float variable e. So e will contain 2.75.

In line 4, a is int and d is float type variable. Result of a/b is of float type i.e. 2.75. it  is assigned to int variable c So c will contain 2 only ignoring digits after decimal point.
