They are the same thing, and also the same as
(int)(ch). In C++, it’s generally preferred to use a named cast to clarify your intentions:static_castto cast between primitive types of different sizes or signednesses, e.g.static_cast<char>(anInteger).dynamic_castto downcast a base class to a derived class (polymorphic types only), e.g.dynamic_cast<Derived *>(aBasePtr).reinterpret_castto cast between pointers of different types or between a pointer and an integer, e.g.reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(somePtr).const_castto remove theconstorvolatilequalifiers from variables (VERY DANGEROUS), e.g.const_cast<char *>(aConstantPointer).
