It comes in all types of flavors Usually a new object is created Copy and information might be lost Change reference type, otherwise throws exception. Casting vs using the ‘as’ keyword in the clr i recently learned about a different way to cast Rather than using someclass someobject = (someclass) obj
One can use this sy. Static cast is also used to cast pointers to related types, for example casting void* to the appropriate type I used the term “ray tracer” as this is the one used in the book How do i cast an int to an enum in c++ Enum test { a, b } How do i convert a to type test::a?
Casting is the process of type conversion, which is in java very common because its a statically typed language Casting in java isn't magic, it's you telling the compiler that an object of type a is actually of more specific type b, and thus gaining access to all the methods on b that you wouldn't have had otherwise You're not performing any kind of magic or conversion when performing casting, you're essentially telling the compiler trust me, i know what i'm doing and i can guarantee you that this. Casting has sense only for a variable (= chunk of memory whose content can change) there are no variables whose content can change, in python There are only objects, that aren't contained in something They have per se existence
Then, the type of an object can't change, afaik Then, casting has no sense in python That's my believing and opinion Correct me if i am wrong, please In absence of op's clarification, this question could be interpreted in the sense of converting any string to a number, i.e Turning dog into a number (which of course can be done).
