Lecture 29: Type Conversion in Python

Data type conversion, also known as type casting, refers to the process of changing a value from one data type to another. In Python, this can be done implicitly or explicitly.
Python automatically converts a value from one data type to another in certain situations, often to avoid errors or loss of information. This is called implicit conversion or type coercion. For example, when adding an integer and a float, Python will implicitly convert the integer to a float before performing the addition.
