How to convert basic data to user defined data type

Answer 1

Conversion of primitive data type to user-defined type: To perform this conversion, the idea is to use the constructor to perform type conversion during the object creation. Below is the example to convert int to user-defined data type:

// C++ program to illustrate the 
// type-conversion 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std;
// Time Class 
class Time 
{     int hour;     
      int mins;   
public:     
// Default Constructor     
Time()     
{         hour = 0;         
           mins = 0;    
}

// Parameterized Constructor     
Time(int t)     
{         hour = t / 60;         
          mins = t % 60;     
}
 // Function to print the value     
// of class variables  

 void Display()     
{         cout << "Time = " << hour              
                  << " hrs and "              
                   << mins << " mins\n";     
} 
};  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{     
// Object of Time class 
Time T1;     
int dur = 95;       
// Conversion of int type to     
// class type     
T1 = dur;     
T1.Display();
       
return 0; 
}
