@deftypefn {Loadable Function} {} typecast (@var{x}, @var{class})\n\
Return a new array @var{y} resulting from interpreting the data of\n\
@var{x} in memory as data of the numeric class @var{class}.  Both the class\n\
of @var{x} and @var{class} must be one of the built-in numeric classes:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
  \"logical\"\n\
  \"char\"\n\
  \"int8\"\n\
  \"int16\"\n\
  \"int32\"\n\
  \"int64\"\n\
  \"uint8\"\n\
  \"uint16\"\n\
  \"uint32\"\n\
  \"uint64\"\n\
  \"double\"\n\
  \"single\"\n\
  \"double complex\"\n\
  \"single complex\"\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
@noindent\n\
the last two are reserved for @var{class}; they indicate that a\n\
complex-valued result is requested.  Complex arrays are stored in memory as\n\
consecutive pairs of real numbers.  The sizes of integer types are given by\n\
their bit counts.  Both logical and char are typically one byte wide;\n\
however, this is not guaranteed by C++.  If your system is IEEE conformant,\n\
single and double should be 4 bytes and 8 bytes wide, respectively.\n\
\"logical\" is not allowed for @var{class}.  If the input is a row vector,\n\
the return value is a row vector, otherwise it is a column vector.  If the\n\
bit length of @var{x} is not divisible by that of @var{class}, an error\n\
occurs.\n\
\n\
An example of the use of typecast on a little-endian machine is\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
@var{x} = uint16 ([1, 65535]);\n\
typecast (@var{x}, 'uint8')\n\
@result{} [   1,   0, 255, 255]\n\
