To show: The static_cast usage in C++ program for type casting (conversion)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

int sum = 1000;

int count = 21;

double average1 = sum/count;

cout<<"Before conversion = "<<average1<<endl;

double average2 = static_cast<double>(sum)/count;

cout<<"After conversion = "<<average2<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

Before conversion = 47

After conversion = 47.619
