C Language Type Conversion

Type conversion allows us to convert one data type to another. In C language, we use the cast operator for type conversion, represented by (type).

Syntax:

(type)value;

Note: It is always recommended to convert from a lower value to a higher value to avoid data loss.

Type conversion example without using type conversion:

int f =　9/4;
printf("f : %d\n", f);//Output:　2

Type conversion example:

float f = (float)　9/4;
printf("f　:　%f\n",　f　);//Output:　2.250000

Type Conversion Example

Let's see a simple example of converting an int value to a float.

Example

#include<stdio.h>　　
int　main(){　　
　　　　float　f=　(float)9/4;　　　　
　　　　printf("f　:　%f\n",　f　);　　　　
　　　　return　0;　　
}

Output：

f　:　2.250000
