The conversion of one data type to another data type is known as type casting.

Python supports a wide variety of function or methods like int(), float(), str(), hex() etc

## Two types of typecasting -

1. Explicit conversion
    
2. Implicit conversion
    

### Explicit typecasting

The conversion of one data type to another data type, done via programmer as per the requirement is known as explicit typecasting.

### Implicit typecasting

In Python, when the data type conversion takes place during compilation or during the run time, then it is known as implicit typecasting.
