1,521 PointsUnsure how to fix the code after realizing it needs to be cast. I am having a hard time understanding its syntax
For me, I am referring to question 4 of the quiz.

231,184 PointsThe syntax for casting is putting the target type in parentheses next to the object to be casted. Another set of parentheses might be used to enclose the cast and the object when a high-precedence operation (such as the membership operator) is being used on the object.
You might want to review the explanation and example shown in this portion of the "Casting Instances" video.
Also, when asking questions about quizzes, be aware that some of them (not this one, thankfully) randomly scramble the order each time, so you might need to give more specific information to identify the question.
