Good morning - at least in Europe ;-)
Thank you Kay for bringing this up. For me it is not alway clear when I have to
cast explicitly and when it is happening implicitly. I for my code cast
explicitly even when it is not required. In this way I better understand what
is happening.
What you call strong casting is in my terminology explicit casting and your
week casting is implicit casting for me.
Have a wonderful week
Always
Leo
Just to clarify this, we could perhaps use the terms
* strong casting - as performed using the "cast as" expression or a
constructor function like xs:integer()
* weak casting - as performed by the (badly-named) function conversion rules.
Includes atomization, numeric promotion, and conversion of xs:untypedAtomic
to the required type
* exact match - the supplied value must match the required type exactly.
