Name	cast
Definition	cast : overloaded. cast(T2:type,X:val(T1:type)) : expr(T2). cast(T2:type,X:var(T1:type)) : var(T2).
Example	cast(int,true)
Defined in	ops.l
Implementation	icode
Description	Cast an expression to another type. The new type's representation must have the same size as the original type else a run time error occurs. The overloaded declarations mean that if a variable is cast a variable is returned, so a cast expression can be used as the left hand side of an assignment.
Note	Do not try to cast to or from a string - this won't do what you want. To convert a character to a string, use c2s.
