    In any case it won’t be a cast but a reinterpretation (like getting the address, casting to a pointer of a different type and then getting the contents as a new type).

    Example:

    printf("%d\n", 1.5);
    

    won’t print integer 1, but the integer value of the representation of 1.5 in IEEE 754. If you want to cast, you must explicitly put (int) in front of the value.
