For implicit type conversion, arrange the following from a lower size type to a high type size. A. double B. unsigned long int C. unsigned int D. long double E. long int Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Ordering Data Types for Implicit Conversion
This section arranges the given data types from smallest size/precedence to largest for implicit type conversion.
Implicit Type Conversion Hierarchy
The standard implicit type conversion hierarchy generally follows data size and type precedence. The order is determined as follows:
- unsigned int (C): Typically the smallest integer type listed (e.g., 4 bytes).
- long int (E): Often larger than or has higher precedence than $unsigned int$ (e.g., 4 or 8 bytes).
- unsigned long int (B): Usually has higher precedence or is considered larger than $long int$ (e.g., same size as $long int$ but unsigned).
- double (A): A floating-point type, typically larger than integral types when mixed (e.g., 8 bytes).
- long double (D): The largest floating-point type, typically larger than $double$ (e.g., 10-16 bytes).
Conclusion on Type Order
The resulting order from lower size/precedence to higher is:
$unsigned int$ (C) < $long int$ (E) < $unsigned long int$ (B) < $double$ (A) < $long double$ (D)
This corresponds to the sequence: C, E, B, A, D.
