❔ conversion operator

someone wanna explain what is the difference between implicit and explicit operator?

Console.WriteLine(7), the int is implicitly converted to a string

not really, thats just calls 7.ToString() in the inside implicit is basically when the compiler casts for you without writing the cast eg

object foo = 1; // implicit
object bar = (object)1; // explicit

object foo = 1; // implicit
object bar = (object)1; // explicit

that can be limited with some types, u can explicitly cast a type, but cannot implicitly cast it, and vice versa

example u can only explicitly cast a float to int, but cannot implicitly cast it
