Type Casting - language feature

Example from C, C++, Objective-C, Tick C:

double da = 3.3;
double db = 3.3;
double dc = 3.4;
int result = (int)da + (int)db + (int)dc; //result == 9

Example from MATLAB:

b = cast(a, 'like', p)

Example from C#:

Animal animal = new Cat();

Bulldog b = (Bulldog) animal;   // if (animal is Bulldog), stat.type(animal) is Bulldog, else an exception
b = animal as Bulldog;          // if (animal is Bulldog), b = (Bulldog) animal, else b = null

animal = null;
b = animal as Bulldog;          // b == null

Example from TypeScript, Static Typescript:

<number>something;

Example from C3:

double d = 3.3;
int x = (int)d;

Example from Speedie:

|| x = message()
|| y = x|object| // lose type info
|| z = y|message| // regain it

Example from Jule:

let x = (int)(3.14)

Languages with Type Casting include C, C++, MATLAB, C#, TypeScript, Objective-C, C3, Speedie, Jule, Tick C, Static Typescript

This question asks: Does the language have a syntax for type casting?
