Implicit conversion
Implicit conversion means that there is no need for an operator, or no external help is required for conversion. These types of conversion are perfectly legal and there is no loss of data or mismatch of values. They are completely type-safe. Solidity allows for implicit conversion from smaller to larger integral types. For example, converting uint8 to uint16 happens implicitly.
