I am a newbie and forgive me if this is very basic question.
In python, below is possible.
x = 0
x = float(x)
Can’t we do this in C#? It throws error unless I assign the casting to a different variable
>Solution :
So in C# when defining a variable, you need to specify the type. For example:
int x = 0
When you typecast in C#, you need to initialize a new variable of a different type, and set it to the existing variable. To type convert the above line to a float we’d add:
float y = x
This is called type conversion, it’s where the compiler automatically converts the type of a data structure given the context of the code. Type casting is when the programmer specifically specifies the type which he wishes a variable to be converted to. For instance:
double x = 3.333;
int y;
y = (int)x;
I hope that helped:)
