hyped.core.ops.casting module

This module defines a type cast operator.

hyped.core.ops.casting.cast(typ: Any, val: Any) → Any

Cast a feature to a specified data type.

This function performs a type cast for a value if it is an instance of a Feature. It infers the target data type from the provided type annotation, adds a cast node to the data flow graph, and retrieves the resulting feature.

Parameters:

  • typ (Any) – The target type to cast the value to. Typically, this is a type annotation.

  • val (Any) – The value to be cast. If the value is not a Feature, it is returned unchanged.

Returns:

The cast value. If the input val is a Feature, the function returns the feature resulting from the cast operation. Otherwise, it returns val unchanged.

Return type:

Any
