    Does it changes the memory?
    For instance, from "unsigned int" to "signed char".
    Is it just like discarding bytes or something else?

    It depends on the source and target types.

    A cast is an explicit conversion. It takes a value of some type and
    yields a value of some (other) type -- or of the same type. The
    semantics of a conversion are not affected by whether it's done
    explicitly or implicitly.

    The rules depend on the source and target types, and are specified in
    the standard, section 6.3 "Conversions". You'll need to read the whole >thing.

    What if he is a Trumper and can't read? What then?
