Type Conversions in Cpp

 

• non-bool to bool: bool=1 if non-bool != 0; bool=0 if non-bool ==0;
• bool to non-bool: non-bool=1 if bool==1; non-bool=0 if bool==0;
• float to int: truncate decimal part;
• out-of-range to unsigned type: (Eg: -1 to 8-bit unsigned char, -1+256=255);
• out-of-range to signed type: result is undefined.
