Python

Typecasting in Python refers to converting one data type into another, which can be done through explicit or implicit conversion. Explicit conversion is done manually using built-in functions like int() and float(), while implicit conversion occurs automatically when Python handles operations between differing data types to prevent data loss. Python prioritizes higher-order data types over lower-order ones during implicit conversions.

Solution:
Typecasting is nothing but converting one data type into another data
type.

There are two varieties of typecasting in python namely,

1. Explicit Conversion (Explicit type casting in python),


2. Implicit Conversion (Implicit type casting in python)

Explicit Conversion

Explicit type conversion is the process of changing one data type into
another, whether it's done automatically or manually depending on the
situation.

The built-in type conversion functions in Python, such as int(), float(),


hex(), oct(), str(), etc., can be used to achieve it.
Implicit Conversion

As all Python data types do not have the same level, or the same
ordering of data types, this is known.

Data types are handled by Python in a specific order. Higher-order data


types exist with lower-order data types.

One of the variables' data types will be converted to the higher data
type when executing any operations on variables with differing data
types in Python.

One data type is changed into another according to the level by the
Python interpreter itself (automatically).

In Python, this is referred to as implicit type casting. To avoid data loss,


Python transforms a lower data type to a higher data type.
