Cast Operator

Explicit conversions are possible using the unary cast operator which consists of a type name in parentheses.

Example 5: (int) 1e6d
Converts a value of type double to an int.

Note that not only meaningful conversions are permitted. (bool) 3 is, for example, not permitted.

Numerical conversions may cause loss of precision or, in case of a narrowing conversion, even a different sign and a overall loss of information.

A cast operator cannot be used as a replacement to the + operator to convert arbitrary types into a string representation.
