Simply stated, casting allows you to change the type (class) of an object.
Technically, the object itself does not change type, but your reference is changed. For example, lets suppose you have the class "Animal" with subclasses "Cat" and "Dog". If you have a reference (variable) declared to be type "Animal" and you store and object of type "Dog" in it, you will not be able to call any methods from the "Dog" class which the "Animal" class does not have. You would first need to cast your reference to "Dog" so that you can utilize those methods.
