Transcription: An arithmetic conversion is an automatic conversion that takes place because the operands of an arithmetic operation have different types. These conversions have two goals, creating a common type for the two operands and preventing loss of information. If one operand is a floating type and the other is an integral type, the integral operand is converted to a floating type. If both operands are either integral or floating type, the operand with the narrower type is converted to the type of the other operand. On the next page is a list of the arithmetic conversions.
