What is the difference between implicit and explicit typecasting in C++ ? Give with example.

Answer 1

Implicit is where it automatically converts it. For example, lets say that I declared my variable as a double, but I use a normal integer as its value, it'll automatically convert it.

Explicit is where you actually use the casting to specify what type it'll convert to or should be.

EXAMPLE:

double d = 2; (it'll implicitly convert it to 2.0)

int d1 = 1;
int d2 = 2;
float d = (float)d1 + d2; (this will explicitly convert d1 to float, and the operation itself will automatically convert d2 also)
