Implicit type conversion

Implicit conversion is performed automatically by Python when it can safely convert one type into another.

Example:

integer_number = 10
decimal_number = 2.5

result = integer_number + decimal_number

print(result)
print(type(result))
            

Output:

12.5
<class 'float'>
            

Explicit type conversion

Explicit conversion is performed manually by the programmer using a conversion function.

Example:

age = "25"
next_age = int(age) + 1

print(next_age)
            

Output:

26
