  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    In computer science, type conversion, [1] [2] type casting, [1] [3] type coercion, [3] and type juggling [4] [5] are different ways of changing an expression from one data type to another. An example would be the conversion of an integer value into a floating point value or its textual representation as a string , and vice versa.

    Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) is the latest version of Unreal Engine developed by Epic Games.It was revealed in May 2020 and officially released in April 2022. Unreal Engine 5 includes multiple upgrades and new features, including Nanite, a system that automatically adjusts the level of detail of meshes, and Lumen, a dynamic global illumination and reflections system that leverages software as well as ...

    The reinterpret cast technique from C/C++ also works in Pascal. This can be useful, when eg. reading dwords from a byte stream, and we want to treat them as float. Here is a working example, where we reinterpret-cast a dword to a float:

    Unreal Engine (UE) is a 3D computer graphics game engine developed by Epic Games, first showcased in the 1998 first-person shooter video game Unreal.Initially developed for PC first-person shooters, it has since been used in a variety of genres of games and has been adopted by other industries, most notably the film and television industry.

    Scene rendered with RRV [1] (simple implementation of radiosity renderer based on OpenGL) 79th iteration The Cornell box, rendered with and without radiosity by BMRT. In 3D computer graphics, radiosity is an application of the finite element method to solving the rendering equation for scenes with surfaces that reflect light diffusely.

  7. Type safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety

    The following examples illustrates how C++ cast operators can break type safety when used incorrectly. The first example shows how basic data types can be incorrectly cast: #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main () { int ival = 5 ; // integer value float fval = reinterpret_cast < float &> ( ival ); // reinterpret bit pattern cout ...

  8. Ray tracing (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)

    For example, if the objects are long and thin, then a sphere will enclose mainly empty space compared to a box. Boxes are also easier to generate hierarchical bounding volumes. Note that using a hierarchical system like this (assuming it is done carefully) changes the intersection computational time from a linear dependence on the number of ...

  9. Nim (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim_(programming_language)

    For example, a single statement may span multiple lines if a comma or binary operator is at the end of each line. Nim also supports user-defined operators. Unlike Python, Nim implements (native) static typing. Nim's type system allows for easy type conversion, casting, and provides syntax for generic programming. Nim notably provides type ...
