What is typecast?

Answer 1

Casting is used when you want to save a value of one type to a variable which is of a different type. Below are a couple of different examples:

Example 1:

double d = 3.6;

int i = (int) d;

Example 2:

int i = (int) 29.4;

Care must be taken when casting as detail is lost. In the first example above, the new value of 'i' would be 3. This means that any number with a decimal point will automatically loose anything after the decimal point (basically, it will be rounded down).

Answer 2

An actor plays one role where they become famous such as an action hero from there on they only receive parts that have them staring as an action heros.
