Type Casting in C

Type casting allows us to convert one data type into other. In C language, we use cast operator for type casting which is denoted by (type).

Syntax:

Without Type Casting:

int f= 9/4;
printf("f : %d\n", f );//Output: 2

With Type Casting:

float f=(float) 9/4;
printf("f : %f\n", f );//Output: 2.250000

Type Casting example

Let's see a simple example to cast int value into float.

#include <stdio.h>    
#include <conio.h>  
void main(){    
clrscr();    

float f= (float)9/4;
printf("f : %f\n", f );

getch();    
}    

Output:

f : 2.250000
