implicit type conversion (Or "coercion") The abilty of some to automatically insert conversion where an expression of one type is used in a context where another type is expected. A common example is coercion of to so that an expression like sin(1) is compiled as sin(integerToReal(1)) where sin is of type Real -> Real. A coercion is usually performed automatically by the compiler whereas a is an inserted by the programmer. See also . (1997-07-28)
