Hi

Please help me with the queried in blue. Thank you. By the way, I'm not getting the editor toolbar and I had to use captcha to enter the forums.

//learning int(x), float(x), etc.cpp


#include <iostream>

#include <cstdlib>


using namespace std;


int main()

{

    float x = 4.5;


    cout << "x = " << x << endl;


    cout << "x = " << int(x) << endl;

    [b][color="blue"]//as you can see "x" is being cast, what's this type of cast called?[/color][/b]


    cout << "x = " << static_cast<int>(x) << endl;


    int(y)=8;

    [b][color="blue"]//what's the advantage of using this syntax to use declare and initialize a variable?[/color][/b]


    cout << "y = " << y << endl;


    system("pause");

    return 0;

}
