Topic: Cast computer science


In the News (Thu 20 Nov 08)

  
 Type conversion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, type conversion or typecasting refers to changing an entity of one datatype into another.
The term for implicit type conversion is coercion.
The most common form of explicit type conversion is known as casting.

 Reference (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a reference is a small object containing information which refers to data elsewhere, as opposed to containing the data itself.
It is similar to the assembly representation of a raw address, except that it carries a static datatype which can be used at compile-time to ensure that the data it refers to is not misinterpreted.
However, because C has a weak type system which can be violated using casts (explicit conversions between various pointer types and between pointer types and integers), misinterpretation is still possible, if more difficult.

 Cast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cast (orthopedic), a protective shell to hold a broken bone in place until it has healed.
Casting, a process by which a material is introduced into a mould while liquid, and allowed to solidify into a specific shape
Casting (tails), a process whereby animals can 'drop' their tail, which may or may not regenerate

 Inheritance (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept of inheritance may also be applied more generally to any process in computer science in which one context receives certain traits from another.
For example, in rabo some word processor applications, stylistic attributes such as font size, layout, or color, may be inherited from a template or from another document; a user may define specific attributes for some elements, while the remaining elements inherit attributes from a global style specification.
Even if the superclass is not a public one, the client can still cast the object to its superclass type.
