Q: type cast

[ralphtan]

Anyone know how can I perfrom a type cast
where

float ptr;
short ptr2;

...

ptr2 = ptr;

can I do this way? if not, what is the proper way to do it? Thanks

Best creeate an error check but this: ptr2 =(short)ptr;
should work in a perfect world with a good compiler.
It works with gcc.
