Explicit Cast

Explore explicit casting in C++ by learning about named cast operators such as dynamic_cast, static_cast, const_cast, and reinterpret_cast. Understand how these casts provide safer and clearer type conversions compared to traditional C-style casts, helping you avoid common programming errors.

We'll cover the following...

The compiler performs implicit casts during operations. However, C++ allows us to apply explicit casts as well.

There are 4 different named cast operators:

  • dynamic_cast
  • static_cast
  • const_cast
  • reinterpret_cast
