SPECIAL TOPICS AND

PROBLEM SOLVING
APPROACH-1
Lecture: 7,8

1
TYPE CONVERSION/ TYPE
CASTING
Converting one datatype into another is known as type casting or, type-conversion.

// An example of implicit conversion


Implicit Type Conversion: #include<stdio.h>
• also known as ‘automatic type int main()
conversion‘ {
• done by the compiler on its own, int x = 10; // integer x
without any external trigger from char y = 'a'; // character c
the user
• Generally takes place when an // y implicitly converted to int. ASCII
expression contains more than // value of 'a' is 97
one data type. In such condition x = x + y;
type conversion (type
promotion) takes place to avoid // x is implicitly converted to float
loss of data. float z = x + 1.0;

printf("x = %d, z = %f", x, z);


return 0; 2
TYPE CONVERSION/ TYPE
CASTING
Explicit Type Conversion: // An example of explicit conversion
• User defined #include <stdio.h>
• the user can type cast the result to
make it of a particular data type int main()
• Syntax: {
(type) expression
int sum = 17, count = 5;
double mean;
Try to find the units digit
and the tenths digit of a mean = (double) sum / count;
floating point number! printf("Value of mean : %f\n", mean );
return 0;
}

Find the number of digits in a
number
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=2;
int i=0;
while(a)
{
a=a/10;
i++;
}
printf("%d",i);
}

Finding the digits of a number
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=2564;
int i=0;
int d;
while(a)
{
d=a%10;
printf("%d\t",d);
a=a/10;
i++;
}
} 5
ARMSTRONG NUMBER CHECKER
• Armstrong number is a number that is equal to the sum of cubes of its digits. For
example 0, 1, 153, 370, 371 and 407 are the Armstrong numbers.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a; Look up the definitions of
scanf("%d",&a); other special numbers like
int sum=0; Harshad number, Dudney
int b=a; number on the internet.
int i;
From those definitions,try
while(b!=0)
{ implementing a code to
i=b%10; check if an input is a
b=b/10; special number or not.
sum=sum+i*i*i;
}
if(sum==a)
printf("Armstrong");
else
printf("Not Armstrong");
