Answer 1

In its simplest explanation Type Cast allows you to reinterpret a series of bytes. The numeric conversion functions convert from one data type to another and essentially do the same thing that Type Cast does, albeit with just numbers. Type Cast allows you to extend this to convert one data type to another, beyond just numbers. Thus, you could convert an array of 2 U8 values into a single U16 number by using Type Cast like this:
or you could reinterpret an array of lots of U8 values into an array of U16 values like this:
How you use it is entirely up to you, but it is an extremely powerful function. What are you trying to do?
