Answer
| Implicit Type Conversion | Explicit Type Conversion |
|---|---|
| An implicit type conversion is automatically performed by the compiler when differing data types are intermixed in an expression. | An explicit type conversion is user-defined conversion that forces an expression to be of specific type. |
| An implicit type conversion is performed without programmer's intervention. | An explicit type conversion is specified explicitly by the programmer. |
| Example: a, b = 5, 25.5 c = a + b | Example: a, b = 5, 25.5 c = int(a + b) |

What is an atom in Python? What is an expression?
Two objects (say a and b) when compared using == ,return True. But Python gives False when compared using is operator. Why? (i.e., a == b is True but why is a is b False?)
Are these values equal? Why/why not?
