All language subtitles for 9. Casting Introduction

What is going on, guys?

And welcome back to our C programming chorus.

My name is Vlad.

This is Alphatech.

And in this video, we are going to talk about a really important topic called casting.

So we know that in C language, we can create different variables of different types to hold different

data.

Now, if we've come to think about mathematical operations, then some of doing the jurors should definitely

also be an integer.

Right.

And also, we can say that the sum or that a vision of two floating point numbers is also expected to

be of a floating point type.

Meaning that if two numbers are of the same type, then usually we would have expected the result of

any math operation between them to be of that same particular type.

Like we can see right now.

But that's not always the case.

Suppose you've got two integer numbers.

Let's say five and two.

Like we've seen in one of our previous challenges.

And you want to find out what would be the result of dividing five by two.

So on one hand, we know that five and two are two in the jurors.

And we expect, as we've said previously, that the result should also be of an integer type.

Then we can say that five divided by two will give us just two.

Right.

This means they can be in their predators.

How many times the number two can fully be inserted into five.

And that's exactly would be two times.

On the other hand, if we expect and allow the result to be of type floating point, then we can definitely

say that the result will be none other than two point five.

So as you can see here, pretty much the result of the same mathematical operation.

I can give you basically two different results based on the type itself in when and how to use it correctly.

We are going to discuss right away.
