[C++] does implicit type conversion happen during compile-time or run-time

[Nyap]

my tutorial keeps saying that it's the compilers doing but I just want to make sure

 

[Nyap]

is it so hard to write one word

The compiler basically adds the casts for you when needed. The following program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int a = 2;
    char b = 'b';
    printf("%i", a + b);

    return 0;
}

will compile into the exact same executable when the cast is explicit:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int a = 2;
    char b = 'b';
    printf("%i", a + (int)b);

    return 0;
}
