Implicit and Explicit Conversion in python

 

#Lets take two variables a & b:-

a = 14

print(type(a))

b = 14.66

print(type(b))

#Output:

14 has a datatype : <class 'int'>

14.66 has a datatype : <class 'float'>

>>The output here shows what type of datatype variable 'a' and  'b' has.

• 'a' has integer datatype
• 'b' has float datatype 

>> This type of conversion where python automatically converts one datatype into another is called as Implicit Conversion.

>>Now lets take same variables for another type of conversion.

a = 14

print(float(a))

As we all know that variable 'a' has an integer datatype but here we are explicitly converting that into float with the help of float().

#Output:

14.0

Here we can see that the output has a datatype float.

b = 14.66

print(int(b))

Same goes here, in the above example we have seen that variable 'b' has a datatype float but here we are explicitly converting it into integer with the help of int().

#Output:

14

Here we can see that the output has a datatype integer.

>>This type of conversion where we explicitly converts the datatype from one to another is called as Explicit Conversion.
