Quick cast question

Which C++ cast is closest to the C style (t) e one? I vaguely remember the C++ D&E saying t'is static_cast but I can't remember and don't have the book here with me.

Yes, I'd say static_cast is closest, since it can be used in several different situations.

I thought it was reinterpret_cast

Hmm ok thanks guys.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    float f = 10.0f;
    int i1 = (int) f;
    int i2 = static_cast<int>(f);
    int i3 = reinterpret_cast<int>(f); // error cannot convert float to int
    std::cout << i1 << '\n';
    std::cout << i2 << '\n';
    std::cout << i3 << '\n';
}
