Unit 8: Type Conversion

3. Discus which statements are does casting operator should satisfy. Notes
4. Explicit type conversions between objects of different types lead, at best, to code that is
difficult to read. Discuss.

5. The assignment operations cause automatic type conversion between the operand as per
certain rules. Describe.
6. Two standard conversion sequences or two user-defined conversion sequences may have
different ranks. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
7. Scrutinize the standard conversion sequences.
8. Implicit conversions also include constructor or operator conversions, which affect classes
that include specific constructors or operator functions to perform conversions. Explain
with and example.

9. There are three types of situations that arise where data conversion are between
incompatible types. What are three situations explain briefly.
10. Write a program which the conversion of class type to basic type conversion.
