casting int to char using C++ style casting [duplicate]

You can implicitly convert between numerical types, even when that loses precision:

char c = i;

However, you might like to enable compiler warnings to avoid potentially lossy conversions like this. If you do, then use static_cast for the conversion.

Of the other casts:

• dynamic_cast only works for pointers or references to polymorphic class types;
• const_cast can’t change types, only const or volatile qualifiers;
• reinterpret_cast is for special circumstances, converting between pointers or references and completely unrelated types. Specifically, it won’t do numeric conversions.
• C-style and function-style casts do whatever combination of static_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast is needed to get the job done.
