Implicit Type ConversionExplicit 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)
