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
