Types can be converted to other types. For example, built-in types can be converted to other built-in types. Here, we will discuss the implicit and explicit conversions.

Implicit Conversions

Some values can be implicitly converted into each other. This is true for all the built-in types. We can convert char to int, int to double, etc. Example:
int main()
{
    char mychar = 64;
    int myint = 123;
    double mydouble = 456.789;
    bool myboolean = true;
    myint = mychar;
    mydouble = myint;
    mychar = myboolean;
