Visual C++ - 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.
explicit conversion to 32-bit integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 32-bit unsigned integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 16-bit integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 16-bit unsigned integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 8-bit integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 8-bit unsigned integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 64-bit integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 64-bit unsigned integer
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 32-bit real number
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to 64-bit real number
( type ) expression
explicit conversion to boolean
( type ) expression

Other pieces of example codes:
y =(double)(x * y)
y = (short)(x * y)
y = (signed char)(x * y)
y = (long long)(x * y)
y = (unsigned long)(x * y)
z = (int)(x * y)
