C++ Syntax: (class)
Description
This is used to covert a value from one type to another.
Its called type casting. By far the most common
form to be found the MINFast macros is the conversion of a TObject
pointer to a class that
inherits
from it. For example:-
<![CDATA[
(REROOT_GAFKey *) gafkeys->At(0)
]]>
Here gafkeys is a pointer to
TClonesArray
whose At member function returns a pointer to
TObject
which is then converted to a REROOT_GAFKey pointer by the cast expresssion.
See operator
precedence
Other Uses for type_cast
None.
