C# - Type Casting in C#
Type Casting in C#
In C#, casting is a way to convert a variable from one type to another. There are several types of casting in C#, each with its specific use cases and behaviors. Below are the main types of casting in C#, explained in detail:
Implicit casting
Implicit casting is a type of casting that is automatically performed by the C# compiler when there is no risk of data loss. It usually occurs when converting a smaller type to a larger type or a derived type to a base type.
int a = 123;
double b = a; // Implicit casting from int to doubleIn this example, the integer a is implicitly cast to a double b. Since a double can hold larger values than an int, this conversion is safe and automatic.
Explicit casting
Explicit casting is used when you need to convert a larger type to a smaller type or a base type to a derived type. This type of casting must be done manually by the programmer using a cast operator because it might result in data loss or an exception if the conversion is not possible.
double a = 123.45;
int b = (int)a; // Explicit casting from double to int
In this example, the double a is explicitly cast to an int b. Since this conversion might result in data loss (the fractional part is discarded), it requires explicit casting.
