To cast, casting

+ +

+ +If you want to change the +datatype of a variable +you have to use a technic called cast. For example if want to +change an int to a +float +you could use the following syntax: +

+ + + + +

+        
+    main()
+    {
+        int var1;
+        float var2;
+
+        var2 = (float)var1;
+    }
+

+ +

+As it happens this example would never be used in practice because C +would perform the conversion automatically. + +What this example does show is the cast operator () . This states, +the result of the expression (in this case var1) is to be a +data type of float. +
