casting programming code example

Example: c# type conversion

// --------------------- TYPE CONVERSION --------------------- //

// Implicit conversion
float varFloat = 12.7f;
double varDouble = varFloat;   // converts float => double


// Explicit conversion (casting)
double varDouble = 2.3;
int varInt = (int) varDouble;        // converts double => int


// Type convertion: number to string
int varInt = 19;
string varString = varInt.ToString();    // converts int => string


// Type convertion: string to number
string varString = "89";   
int varInt = int.Parse(varString);         // converts string => int
double varDouble = double.Parse(varString);  // converts string => double
//OR
int varInt = Convert.ToInt32(varString);
double varDouble = Convert.ToDouble(varString);
