What is type casting?

Answer 1

int -> float -> double

int can be converted to float and float can be converted to double without explicit conversion. This is called type conversion.

Type casting is the explicit conversion of one data type to the other.

Edit: ~ swim ~ I got confused between type casting and type conversion. Apparently one applies for the implicit action and the other for the explicit action. I have slightly modified my answer statement.
