C# Type Casting

When We assign a value of one datatype to another datatype.

There are two types of casting

Implicit Casting

Implicit casting is done automatically when passing a smaller size type to a larger size type:

int myInt = 9;
double myDouble = myInt;

Console.WriteLine(myInt); 
Console.WriteLine(myDouble)

Explicit Casting

Explicit casting must be done manually by placing the type in parentheses in front of the value

double myDouble = 9.78;
int myInt = (int) myDouble;

Console.WriteLine(myDouble);
Console.WriteLine(myInt);

Type Conversion Methods

int myInt = 10;
double myDouble = 5.25;
bool myBool = true;

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(myInt));  
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDouble(myInt));   
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(myDouble));  
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(myBool));
