Casting

Note: currently casting does not work between floats and integers. This means that you cannot do f32:(123) or something of the sort

<type>:(<value>)

p16:(753664)       # casts to a pointer type

Values can also be casted to a format type and then used as such

create jon <- Person:(<some pointer>);
printf("%i\n", jon.age);

Type Annexes

Type annexes also work on casts

something(SomeType:borrowed:(bob));

Autocasting

Autocasting converts types automatically to reduce confusion

Autocasting is done from conststr to string in these scenarios:

• Creating and assigning a variable to a conststr
• Passing a conststr to a function expecting a string
• Creating a conststr array
