It comes in all types of flavors If it's out of range, that'll give an unspecified result so you'll probably want to reduce it the right range first, or assign it to a larger signed type. Usually a new object is created

Change reference type, otherwise throws exception.
Static cast is also used to cast pointers to related types, for example casting void* to the appropriate type Do you understand the concept of casting Casting is the process of type conversion, which is in java very common because its a statically typed language Casting has sense only for a variable (= chunk of memory whose content can change) there are no variables whose content can change, in python
There are only objects, that aren't contained in something They have per se existence Then, the type of an object can't change, afaik Then, casting has no sense in python
That's my believing and opinion
Correct me if i am wrong, please Had you been doing just double x = a;, you can do away with the explicit conversion since an int is implicitly converted to a double (live example). Regarding use for casting, you still see the need for it in some libraries In absence of op's clarification, this question could be interpreted in the sense of converting any string to a number, i.e
Turning dog into a number (which of course can be done). The real question is what you want to do when/if the value in the unsigned int it out of the range that can be represented by a signed int If it's in range, just assign it and you're done
