   • Explicit Casting Generic to Another Type in C#

     Top Answer

     Answered Feb 20, 2019 · 3 votes

     I think the best you can get is this:

     public class Point<T>{ public T X { get; set; } public T Y { get; set; } public T Z { get; set; } public Point<U> As<U>() { return new Point<U>() { X = Convert<U>(X), Y = Convert<U>(Y), Z = Convert<U>(Z) }; } static U Convert<U>(T t) => (U)System.Convert.ChangeType(t, typeof(U));}

     You cannot define a generic conversion operator, so you need it to be an explicit function. Moreover, a simple cast (U)t won't work, so you need Convert.ChangeType (which will work if your types are numeric).

     Usage:

     var p1 = new Point<int> { X = 1, Y = 2, Z = 3 };var p2 = p1.As<double>();-

     (works as expected).

   • Explicit Type Casting in C

     Notice that the first case is equivalent to printf("%d", (int)a);

     Casts from double to int are sort-of special cases, they are converting a floating point to an integer.

     (In practice, most other casts, e.g. casts between various integral types like unsigned long and short, are "keeping" most of the bits of the internal representations; in that aspect, cast from integral to floating types or vice versa are really special, since involving some additional processing)

     Your second case printf("%d", a) is actually undefined behavior (UB). You are using printf with an argument of type incompatible with its control format string. UB can be really worse.

     i = int (f);-

     is valid in C++ but not in C.

     From the C99 Standard, 6.5.4 Cast operators

     cast-expression: unary-expression ( type-name ) cast-expression

     C++ supports the above form of casting as well as function style casting. Function style casting is like calling the constructor of a type to construct on object.

     Check out the following block code compiled using C and C++.

     #include <stdio.h>-int main(){ float f = 10.2; int i = int(f); printf("i: %d\n", i);}

   • Type casting with pointers in C

     Top Answer

     Answered Sep 07, 2022 · 5 votes

     num = 1.23456;-

     That sets the value of num to 1. (The fractional part, .23456, is discarded, since according to the C language rules, an int can't hold fractional values)

     *((float*) &num) = 1.23456;-

     Here you are taking the floating-point value 1.23456 and overwriting the memory location where num lives with that bit-pattern. I suspect that this is invoking undefined behavior; in any case this can only 'work' on computers where sizeof(float)==sizeof(int), so it's a bad idea to do this.

     printf("num = %.2f \n", *((float*)&num));-

     Here you are pretending that the memory location where num is located is actually the location of a float, and printing out that memory as if it were a floating point value. It just so happens to do what you expected, on your machine, but you shouldn't rely on it doing so. By doing tricky casting and type-punning like this, you are effectively "going behind the compiler's back" and bypassing its type-system. The likely way this will bite you (even on computers where float and int both take up the same number of bytes) is when you enable optimizations and the compiler optimizes your code in some way that assumes that an int and a float can't occupy the same address in memory -- but your code is deliberately breaking that assumption, and thus your program ends up doing something unexpected (like crashing, or printing out the wrong value).

     Is the following type cast creates a new variable in memory?

     C being a fairly low-level language (by modern standards anyway), it is trying to do what your program told it to do, no more and no less. In particular, your program told it to treat a pointer-to-int as a pointer-to-float, and the C compiler trusts that you know what you are doing and lets your violate the type system by using casts. So the program isn't creating a new variable in memory so much as overwriting the bytes of memory where an existing variable (num) is located, in a questionable and unsafe way.

   • Type Casting in Python (Implicit and Explicit) with Examples

     Type Casting is the method to convert the Python variable datatype into a certain data type in order to perform the required operation by users. In this article, we will see the various techniques for typecasting. There can be two types of Type Casting in Python:

     • Python Implicit Type Conversion
     • Python Explicit Type Conversion

     Implicit Type Conversion in Python

     In this, method, Python converts the datatype into another datatype automatically. Users don’t have to involve in this process. 

     Python3

     # Python program to demonstrate # implicit type Casting  # Python automatically converts # a to int a = 7print(type(a))  # Python automatically converts # b to float b = 3.0print(type(b))  # Python automatically converts # c to float as it is a float addition c = a + b print(c) print(type(c)) # Python automatically converts # d to float as it is a float multiplicationd = a * bprint(d)print(type(d))

     Output:

     <class 'int'><class 'float'>10.0<class 'float'>21.0<class 'float'>

     Explicit Type Conversion in Python

     In this method, Python needs user involvement to convert the variable data type into the required data type.

   Oct 13, 2022 · Explicit Type Casting. There are some cases where if the datatype remains unchanged, it can give incorrect output. In such cases, typecasting can help to get the correct output and reduce the time of compilation. In explicit type casting, we have to force the conversion between data types.

Use explicit type casting when you are converting between incompatible data types. For example, you can explicitly cast a double to an integer, but you cannot implicitly cast an integer to a double.

   In first case there is an implicit type conversion. The statement . int b = a; // Implicit conversion. OK is equivalent to . int b = (int)a; // Explicit conversion. OK (The above type conversions are OK as long as type converted value fits within the range of int type.)

   Usage example

   int printf(const char * restrict format, ...);

   What is implicit type casting in C?

   • 1. Implicit Type Casting Implicit type casting in C is used to convert the data type of any variable without using the actual value that the variable holds. It performs the conversions without altering any of the values which are stored in the data variable. Conversion of lower data type to higher data type will occur automatically.
