Dosato has an autocasting system, which means that you can cast types without using a keyword.
If you want to cast a type, you can use the following syntax: (TYPE) VALUE
This means that in most cases, any type can be cast to any other type.
| Operation | Example | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| int -> float | make float a = (int) 1.5; // 1 | Value is interpreted as int, is floored. |
| int -> string | make string a = (int) 1; // "1" | Value is interpreted as string. |
| float -> string | make string a = 1.5; // "1.5" | Value is interpreted as string. |
| array -> string | make string a = [1,2,3,4,5] // "[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]" | Value is interpreted as string nicely formatted. |
| string -> int | make int a = "Hello!"; // 6 | Value is the length of the string. |
| array -> int | make int a = [1,2,3,4,5] // 5 | Value is the length of the array. |
