Operators
Typecasting is a way of specifying what we want in terms of the assignment and the values passed to the assignment.
Typecast operators:
- string
- float
- signed
- unsigned
Converting to string
If we want to assign a numeric variable as an ASCII string then we can use the "string" typecast operator.
StringVar = string NumericVar
This can be taken further and used on results of calculations etc.
StringVar = string (NumericVar * 5)
Converting to float
If we want to assign a integer variable as a floating point variable then we can use the "float" typecast operator.
FloatVar = float IntVar
This can be taken further and used on results of calculations etc.
FloatVar = float (IntVar * 5)
To assign a float status to a fixed value we can do one of the following.
- FloatVar = float 5
- FloatVar = 5.0
