12.6 TYPE CONVERSION
Type conversion in Python is the process of changing a value from one data type to another, ensuring that operations
and calculations work correctly. It allows a value to be treated as a different data type so that operations can be
performed correctly. For example, you might convert an integer to a float or a string to an integer. Python supports
two main types of type conversion:
• Implicit Conversion
• Explicit Conversion

12.6.1 Implicit Conversion
Implicit Conversion is the automatic conversion of one data type into another data type by Python. It is also known as
automatic type conversion.

When two different data types are used in an expression, Python automatically converts the smaller data type into the
larger data type to avoid data loss.

Program 16: To demonstrate Implicit Type Conversion in Python.

# Assign an integer value to variable a
a = 12
# Assign a float value to variable b
b = 4.5
# Python automatically converts integer ‘a’ to float
# because float has higher priority than integer
result = a + b
# Display the values
print("Value of a:", a)
print("Value of b:", b)
# Display the result
print("Result after addition:", result)
# Display the data type of result
print("Data type of result:", type(result))
