C Typecasting
Typecasting is a way to make a variable of one type, such as an int, act like another type, such as a char, for one single operation. To typecast something, simply put the type of variable you want the actual variable to act as inside parentheses in front of the actual variable.
Example 1
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { /* The (char) is a typecast, telling the computer to interpret the 65 as a character, not as a number. It is going to give the character output of the equivalent of the number 65 (It should be the letter A for ASCII). Note that the %c below is the format code for printing a single character */ printf( "%c\n", (char)65 ); getchar(); }
