Type Casting

Type casting in C++ involves converting a variable's data type to another. C++ provides several casting methods: C-style casting (inherited from C), static_cast (for explicit conversions at compile time), dynamic_cast (for safe downcasting in class hierarchies), reinterpret_cast (for low-level bitwise reinterpretation), and const_cast (to modify the constness of variables). Choosing the appropriate cast is crucial for safe and efficient code execution.
