Lesson Plan: Type Casting in C

Course: B.Tech (Computer Science / Information Technology) Duration: 55 minutes

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of type casting in C.


2. Differentiate between implicit and explicit type casting.
3. Explain the importance and applications of type casting in programming.
4. Implement type casting in C programs through examples.

Lesson Plan Breakdown:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

 Greet students and introduce the topic.


 Discuss why type casting is necessary in C programming.
 Present real-life analogies to explain type conversions.

2. Understanding Type Casting (10 minutes)

 Define type casting and explain its role in C.


 Differentiate between implicit (automatic) and explicit (manual) type casting.
 Provide basic syntax and rules for type casting.

3. Implicit Type Casting (10 minutes)

 Explain how implicit type casting happens automatically by the compiler.


 Discuss type promotion in expressions (e.g., integer to float conversion).
 Demonstrate with simple examples.

4. Explicit Type Casting (10 minutes)

 Explain how explicit type casting is performed by the programmer.


 Show the syntax: (data_type) expression.
 Discuss use cases and potential issues (e.g., loss of precision).
 Provide hands-on examples.
5. Practical Implementation (10 minutes)

 Write and execute a C program demonstrating implicit and explicit type casting.
 Analyze the output and discuss results with students.
 Engage students in modifying and experimenting with the code.

6. Applications and Best Practices (5 minutes)

 Discuss real-world applications (e.g., handling mixed data types, arithmetic operations,
memory management).
 Provide best practices to avoid errors due to improper type casting.

7. Q&A and Conclusion (5 minutes)

 Summarize key takeaways.


 Allow students to ask questions.
 Assign a follow-up task: Write a program that demonstrates both implicit and explicit
type casting in C.
