  <paragraph>Conversions from <keyword>int</keyword>, <keyword>uint</keyword>, or <keyword>long</keyword> to <keyword>float</keyword> and from <keyword>long</keyword> to <keyword>double</keyword> may cause a loss of precision, but will never cause a loss of magnitude. The other implicit numeric conversions never lose any information. </paragraph>
  <paragraph>There are no implicit conversions to the <keyword>char</keyword> type, so values of the other integral types do not automatically convert to the <keyword>char</keyword> type. </paragraph>
