Typecasting refers to convert the variable data type into another data type.


                   Example 2:  b=8                                                                    Subject Enrichment
                                 C= 'Hello'
                                 y = int(6)   //y will be saved as 6


                 Program Start

                 Declare variables
                 DECLARE Integer b
                 DECLARE String C
                 DECLARE Integer y



                 Assign values
                 Assign b = 8
                 Assign C = "Hello"
                 Assign y = 6



                 Output:
                 OUTPUT "b = ", b
                 OUTPUT "C = ", C

                 OUTPUT "y = ", y
                 END FUNCTION
                 PROGRAM END

                   NASA is the most popular space research agency. Some of its spacecraft still use
                   software from the 1970s due to reliability, but it also develops modern software
                   for new missions.
