Doubt in type casting videos in c++

#1

according to the previous video
float a = 15/5 will give output as 3
now according to this video
char ch = ‘A’ + 2 will output ‘C’

for both the cases type should be the left hand sides variable , what should we follow now?

Hi @Bond007
The left hand side determines the type of variable.
3 or 3.0 both comes under float and if the decimal part of a float is 0 it skips the decimal part.
if you write float a = 3.0
then output a would give 3 only.

Hope this helps
Give a like if you’re satisfied :slight_smile:

i have one doubt , is it better to give explicitly the type ?

It depends on type you want in the output and in calculation.
