EXAMPLE for type

kinds of conversions only change the form in which
Target Type Expression Type Possible Info Loss
signed char char If value > 127, target is
negative
char short int High-order 8 bits
char int (16 bits) High-order 8 bits
char int (32 bits) High-order 24 bits
char long int High-order 24 bits
short int int (16 bits) None
short int int (32 bits) High-order 16 bits
int (16 bits) long int High-order 16 bits
int (32 bits) long int None
long int (32 bits) long long int (64 bits) High-order 32 bits (applies to
C99 only)
int float Fractional part and possibly
more
float double Precision, result rounded
