The Deep Blue C++

Assignments, function calls and expressions in general should not contain implicit type conversions. All type conversions should be explicit. Type conversions should be isolated in their own line, which should consist only of the assignment of the result of the type conversion to a variable of the target type. A statement should not mix type conversion with other operations. For example, if you need to convert an object to one of another type to pass it as a function parameter, do not do it in the function call itself; instead, do it in a separate instruction in the previous line. Type conversion occurs when an entity of type A is, well, converted to an entity of type B. This may occur in function calls, expressions using operators, or assignments. An explicit type conversion is one which you can read in the code. An implicit type conversion is one which does not appear in the source code, but is done automatically when the software is executed. Making all type conversi...
