  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    In computer science, type conversion, [1] [2] type casting, [1] [3] type coercion, [3] and type juggling [4] [5] are different ways of changing an expression from one data type to another. An example would be the conversion of an integer value into a floating point value or its textual representation as a string , and vice versa.

  3. Run-time type information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-time_type_information

    The dynamic_cast operator in C++ is used for downcasting a reference or pointer to a more specific type in the class hierarchy. Unlike the static_cast, the target of the dynamic_cast must be a pointer or reference to class. Unlike static_cast and C-style typecast (where type check occurs while compiling), a type safety check is performed at ...

  4. Downcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downcasting

    In class-based programming, downcasting, or type refinement, is the act of casting a base or parent class reference, to a more restricted derived class reference. [1] This is only allowable if the object is already an instance of the derived class, and so this conversion is inherently fallible.

  5. Type system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system

    Such a function could be passed into another function expecting an "int → int" function safely; it simply would not use the "float → float" functionality. In a subclassing hierarchy, the intersection of a type and an ancestor type (such as its parent) is the most derived type. The intersection of sibling types is empty.

  6. typeof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeof

    In these languages, the typeof operator is the method for obtaining run-time type information. In other languages, such as C# [2] or D [3] and, to some degree, in C (as part of nonstandard extensions and proposed standard revisions), [4] [5] the typeof operator returns the static type of the operand. That is, it evaluates to the declared type ...

  7. Type safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety

    The new operator returns a pointer of type based on operand, whereas malloc returns a void pointer. C++ code can use virtual functions and templates to achieve polymorphism without void pointers. Safer casting operators, such as dynamic cast that performs run-time type checking.

  9. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.
