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. Static cast is also used to cast pointers to related types, for example casting void* to the appropriate type 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. Do you understand the concept of casting Casting is the process of type conversion, which is in java very common because its a statically typed language 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, casting has no sense in python That's my believing and opinion Correct me if i am wrong, please Is there a possibility that casting a double created via math.round() will still result in a truncated down number no, round() will always round your double to the correct value, and then, it will be cast to an long which will truncate any decimal places. I used the term “ray tracer” as this is the one used in the book In absence of op's clarification, this question could be interpreted in the sense of converting any string to a number, i.e
