Which cast is fastest in C#? Assume that I have a 64 bit floating point. Would it be faster to convert it to a 32 bit integer, or a 64 bit integer (assuming that data loss is not relevant to me)?

There are several ways to find this out, each with their own advantages.
Me, I would opt for the first choice as a first run since it’s the easiest to do and doesn’t involve any third parties. Only if it were unclear would I move to the second method.
And I wouldn’t trust a third-party anyway unless they showed some evidence, and they might not get back to you before your homework deadline.
