That statement is a cast. It’s used when you have an object with a very generic type that you absolutely know is a more specific type – in this case, probably a DisplayObject or interface type that you know is an HBox, which you want to call the methods of HBox on.
You should only use a cast if you’re absolutely sure that you’re casting to the correct type, as casting to the wrong type will throw an error. If you’re not sure that you have an HBox, you can use the “as” syntax:
This way, if thing isn’t an HBox, myHBox will be set to null.
