Question

Explain the difference between explicit and implicit type conversion in Python with a suitable example.

Answer 1

Implicit Conversion: Python automatically converts one data type to another.

Example:

x = 10
y = 3.5
result = x + y # x is implicitly converted to float

Explicit Conversion: The user manually converts one data type to another using functions like int(), float().

Example:

x = "10"
y = int(x) # Explicit conversion from string to integer
