Explicit type conversions

By using an explicit conversion, you can specify exactly what type you want to work with. Thanks to this we can overwrite automatic conversion.

( type ) expression

 CInt (expr)

 CLong (expr)

 integer (expr)

 longint (expr)

( type ) expression

 CUInt (expr)

 longword (expr)

( type ) expression

 CShort (expr)

 CInt (expr)

 smallint (expr)

 Boolean (expr)

 CBool (expr)

Other pieces of example codes:

y = (uint)(x * y)

y = (ushort)(x * y)

y = (byte)(x * y)

y = (ulong)(x * y)

y =(double)(x * y)

z = (int)(x * y)
