if I have a line of code that goes something like
int s = (double) t/2
Is it the same as
int s = (double) (t/2)
This should make things a bit clearer. Simply put, a cast takes precedence over a division operation, so it would be the same thing as give the same output as
int s = ((double)t) / 2;
Edit: As knoight has pointed out, this is not technically the same operation as it would be without the parentheses, since they have a priority as well. However, for the purposes of this example, it will offer the same result, and is for all intents and purposes equivalent.
