What happens in C++ when a number is converted from one data type to another data type that can store only smaller numbers? Are there any potential consequences from this occuring? If so, please give an example.
What will be an ideal response?
The value is said to be demoted. Yes, there could be an adverse consequence. For example, if the number 19.25 was assigned to a variable declared to be of the short or int data type, then the result stored would be only 19 since these data types can only store integers. This implicit demotion can adversely affect the program's output.
