Type Conversion

Conversion changes a value from one type to another when the program needs a different form.

Type Conversion

TypeConversion.cs 
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string text = ;
        int value = int.Parse(text);
        int doubled = value * 2;

        Console.WriteLine($"text={text}");
        Console.WriteLine($"value={value}");
        Console.WriteLine($"doubled={doubled}");
    }
}

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string text = ;
        int value = int.Parse(text);
        int doubled = value * 2;

        Console.WriteLine($"text={text}");
        Console.WriteLine($"value={value}");
        Console.WriteLine($"doubled={doubled}");
    }
}

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string text = ;
        int value = int.Parse(text);
        int doubled = value * 2;

        Console.WriteLine($"text={text}");
        Console.WriteLine($"value={value}");
        Console.WriteLine($"doubled={doubled}");
    }
}
parse Parsing converts text into a typed value such as an integer.
