Please help me!

I was doing some reading and I wanted to ask a question. Is this called type casting? var x : Float = 12.0213 Double(x)

Type casting will be something like this

var someVariable = array[0] as! Int

this is called downcasting

Would you show me where you read that please ? I don’t want to give you the wrong information.

What you are doing there is converting a Float type to a Double type, so perhaps it might be called Type casting, but I do not want to give you the wrong information. I looked up Type Casting and it does not show what you are doing there.
