C# Beginner to advanced - Lesson 33 - Implicit & Explicit Conversion & Diff between Parse & TryParse HD

Implicit and Explicit Conversion and Difference between Parse and TryParse Type conversion is converting one type of data to another type. It is also known as Type Casting. In C#, type casting has two forms: Implicit Conversion : Implicit Conversion is done by the compiler : When there is no loss of information if the conversion is done. If there is no possibility of throwing exceptions during the conversion. Example : Converting an int to float will not loose any data and no exception will be thrown, hence an implicit conversion can be done Explicit Conversion : Explicit Conversion is done by the user : For Explicit conversion we can use cast operator or the convert class in C# Example : Converting an float in to int , we loose the fractional part and also a possibility of overflow exception. If we want to convert number in string format to other numerical formats like int ,decimal, float then we have two options: Parse() TryParse(). Parse() Method throws an exception if it cannot parse the value. TryParse() Method returns a bool indicating whether it succeeded or failed Use parse() if you are sure the value will be valid, otherwise use TryParse() ankpro ankpro training Asp.net MVC C# C sharp Bangalore Rajajinagar Selenium Coded UI Mobile automation testing Mobile testing JQuery JavaScript .Net Components of the .Net framework Hello World Literal Keywords Variable Data types Operators Branching Loops Arrays ArrayList Strings String Builder Structures Enums Functions Classes Inheritance Polymorphism Properties Indexers Events Nested Classes Delegates Anonymous methods Labda expressions Abstract classes Exception Handling Linq Interfaces Extension methods Anonymous types Generics Collections Garbage Collection Reflection Attributes Input and output statements Type casting Boxing and Unboxing Var vs Dynamic vs Object
