directcast(123.34,integer) - should it throw an error? Why or why not? ..

Answer / debasis sengupta

directcast(123.34,integer) would throw an InvalidCast
exception since it requires the runtime type of the object
variable to be same as the specified type. In this case
runtime type of 123.34 (double) doesn?t match with integer.

but for ctype(123.34,integer) - it would work fine. As the
runtime type of 123.34 would be double, and Double can be
converted to Integer.
