Python Type Conversion

Type Conversion
├── Implicit  → automatic
└── Explicit  → manual (type casting)

Type Conversion (implicit) → Python automatically converts one data type to another

ans = 5 + 10.0
print(ans, type(ans))   # int → float

output

15.0 <class 'float'>

Important

Python converts smaller type to bigger type int → float

Type Casting (explicit) → done manually by the developer

We use functions like int(), float(), str()

ans = int(5 + 10.0)
print(ans, type(ans))

output

15 <class 'int'>

Attention

• Type casting works only with compatible data types
• In implicit conversion, Python decides
• In explicit casting, the developer controls the type
