Type Casting in C

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

Syntax:

(type)value;

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 the float.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
float f= (float)9/4;
printf("f : %f\n", f );
return 0;
}

Output:

f : 2.250000
