The Type int
Explicit Conversion
A simple way to avoid the automatic type conversion is to request a conversion explicitly. That can be accomplished in the following manner:
int y = int(6.73);
This piece of code will generate no
warnings, as a type conversion is explicitly requested. No automatic type
conversion is required here, but a type conversion will take place. This kind
of type conversion is called type casting and
in this case, the value 6.73 is being cast to type int. The
result is the value 6 of type int.
Of course, this is just an example. To get the same effect we could have simply written:
int y = 6;
