⚙ Settings

• Variable Input - Accepts WayScript variables created in previous steps of your script.
• Cast To - The type of the variable after the cast module step.

{% hint style="info" %} The Python equivalent error of "Could not convert X type to Y type" will return a blank variable of type "Any" within WayScript {% endhint %}

✏ Examples

Create Variable Input	Cast to Type	Result
var = 4	String	"4"
var = 4	Float	4.0
var = "4"	Int	4
var = "4"	Float	4.0
var = {"key":"value"}	String	"{"key":"value"}"
var = {"key":"value"}	Float	No return - Any Type
var = {"key":"value"}	Boolean	True
var = {}	Boolean	False

{% hint style="info" %} Casting logic resembles that of Python's. (e.g. Empty dictionaries return false when casted to Bool type and true when the dictionary contains entries. ) {% endhint %}
