How to cast int to short

[ad]

I have a custom function which accept short as parameter.
for example:

public void myFun(short myShor)
{...}

Now I have a integer (int i), I want to take as the aprameter of myFun,
How can I cast i to short ?

myFun ((short)i);

myFun ((short)i);

Note that, by default, C# checks for integer overflow when performing a cast
in this obvious way. If you prefer to truncate the most significant bits,
you either need to remove them beforehand using a bitmask or perform the
cast inside an "unchecked {}" block. You can read more about unchecked here:

No, by default C# *doesn't* check for overflow, except for compile-time
constant expressions. So:

// Doesn't compile
uint x = (uint)-1;
// Does compile
uint x = unchecked((uint )-1);

// Compiles and runs without exception
int y = -1;
uint x = (uint)y;

// Compiles but throws an exception
int y = -1;
uint x = checked((uint)y );

Note that the default behaviour can also be controlled by a compiler
switch or project setting.

Sorry, my mistake - I'm used to this option being on. I do personally
recommend that the /checked option (Build->Advanced->Check for arithmetic
overflow/underflow) is always used, as this can help to find bugs and
prevent potential security issues, as well as provide conceptual safety
guarantees (and I think it should be on by default). If profiling reveals
that they're slowing down a bottleneck, or if you want the C behaviour of
arithmetic mod 2^word size, you can always wrap the relevant code in
unchecked { }. Thanks for the correction, Jon.
