Implicit type conversion: Difference between revisions

User defined types will support implicit casting if the object has Bridge method that tells it how to do so, or if the operators in question supply multiple dispatch variants that allallow for coercions. Note that Perl 6 does not support implicit assignment coercion to typed variables. However, different-sized storage types (int16, int32, int64, for example) are not considered different types, and such assignment merely enforces a constraint that will throw an exception if the size is exceeded. (The calculations on the right side of the assignment are done in an arbitrarily large type such as Int.)
