Thread: Casting

Just wondering like, is there any difference between

Code:

    double d = 12.3456;
    cout << (int) d << endl;

and

Code:

    double d = 12.3456;
    cout << static_cast<int>(d) << endl;

besides one is a hell of alot shorter to write ? static_cast<> is supposedly a c++ cast while () is more of a c-style cast but does it really matter. Tryed looking through the board but couldnt find any answers. Thanks for any input.
