Conversion Operators in C++
<p>Please help me in understanding how exactly the conversion operators in C++ work?
I have a simple example here which I am trying to understand, though it is not very clear how the conversion actually happens by the compiler. Appreciate your time and effort.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Light</p>

<pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;

using namespace std;

class Example
{
public:
    Example();
    Example(int val);
    operator unsigned int();
    ~Example(){}
private:
    int itsVal;
};

Example::Example():
itsVal(0)
{}

Example::Example(int val):
itsVal(val)
{}

Example::operator unsigned int ()
{
    return ( itsVal );
}

int main()
{
    int theInt = 5;
    Example exObject = theInt; // here 
    Example ctr(5);
    int theInt1 = ctr; // here
    return 0;
}
</code></pre>
