TYPE CONVERSIONS IN EXPRESSIONS

Type conversions in C expressions refer to the automatic or explicit conversion of one data type to another
within an expression. C provides a variety of type conversion rules that allow programmers to perform operations
with mixed data types in expressions. Here are a few examples of type conversions in C:

  1. Implicit type conversion:
    C will automatically convert operands to a common type in expressions. For example, if an integer and
    a floating-point value are used in an expression, the integer value will be automatically converted
    to a floating-point value before the operation is performed.To learn more about this, click here!
  2. Explicit type conversion:
    C allows programmers to explicitly convert data types using type-casting operators. For example, a
    programmer can use the (int) operator to cast a floating-point value to an integer.To learn more about this, click here!

It's important for programmers to be aware of these type conversion rules when working with expressions in C. Incorrect
type conversions can result in unexpected results or even runtime errors. Programmers should also be careful when using
explicit type-casting, as it can potentially result in data loss or rounding errors.
