(1) type casting exists at the second tier of operator precedent

(2) it is used to reinterpret the type of the data pointed to by a pointer

(3) alongside reinterpreting void pointers, it can either be used for structs with identical starting elements, or to cast to a char* to read byte by byte the data of an object.

However, reinterpreting to incompatible types is technically undefined behaviour. So if you point to an integer, reinterpreting that as a float is not valid
