    advanced typecast

    Hi..

    Is there anyone that can help me with a clarifying comments on how typecast is used, I know the basic rules about typecast, but I wout like to learn the little more advanced function/rules and how you use it .

    What I’m looking for could be a link, about the subject.

    Thanks..
    DK – Søren

    PS. I have tried the book, The C programming language, with no look.

    There is nothing advanced about it. It's simply making an alias of another data type to a new name. You can make a new type called 'foo', that's really an int, a type called 'bar', that's a struct of something you make up, etc. There is nothing advanced really. It's just a way to rename something.

    Do you just string words together at random, or are you actually trying to form a complete thought?

    dynamic casting is a C++ concept, not a C concept.

    Sorry, I thought I am in C++ forum .
    By default, C compiler doesn't permit some assignments of different types (Strong Typed concept). But you can force it to do so by typecasting.
