Browse Source 
The topic of converting a smaller type into a larger one is orthogonal to the one discussed in the example (namely, conversion between signed and unsigned integers).

give you some unexpected behaviour and allows you to bypass some security
features of the compiler, so be sure to test that the
result is what you want! Take the following example where you are converting
a negative ``int8`` to a ``uint``:
a negative ``int`` to a ``uint``:
::
int8 y = -3;
int y = -3;
uint x = uint(y);
At the end of this code snippet, ``x`` will have the value ``0xfffff..fd`` (64 hex
