| input | any |
| result | any |
Comments
When converting objects, the data-type of the second argument must conform to the data-type given in the first. For example, if the right hand side is a relationship that points to a "Dog" (or a variable of type "Dog") but the author knows from context that thing that is actually being pointed at is a "Poodle", then the left hand side can have the type "Poodle". This allows the author to then get to the "Poodle" specific field and relationships.
For more details, refer to: Converting between data types.
