Is this not downcasting?
- by cambr
If I do
double d = 34.56;
int i = (int)d;
Am I not "downcasting"?
OR
Is this term only used in terms of classes and objects?
I am confused because in this case we are "downcasting" from a bigger double to a smaller int, but in case of classes, we "downcast" from a smaller base class to a bigger derived class.
Aren't these two conventions, in some sense, opposite?
