The '''Type Cast''' function Casts x to the data type, type, by flattening it and unflattening it using the new data type. If the function must reinterpret data instead of transforming it, LabVIEW uses a temporary buffer. This function has the risk of reinterpreting data. To preserve the data value while converting the data, use the [[Coerce To Type function]] instead.

<blockquote>'''Note:'''  You can also use the [[Functions Palette/Programming/Numeric/Conversion|Conversion VIs and functions]] to convert data types. </blockquote>
