Why cant c implicitly convert int to string?

Why is this an implicit narrowing conversion?

This is implicit because no code explicitly instructed the compiler to perform this conversion. The problem with this code is that this is considered a narrowing conversion, and the compiler does not allow implicit narrowing conversions because there could be a potential loss of data.
