Currently, in c#, you can't convert a type to an other (int to char for example). Downcast is used when a class is derived from another (see c# course and polymorphism).

You can't change the type of a variable : if you declare a variable as a string, you can't convert it to another type (here Bankaccount).

Here is why : In memory : Adress Value Type 0x00 'a' char 0x01 | 0x02 10 | int 0x03 | 0x04 | Imagine a variable a which is a char : it takes one byte in memory and it's stored at address 0x00. Create now an other variable, b, which is an int : it will take 4 bytes in memory (0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04). Now, if you try to convert a to an int, it will take 4 bytes (0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03). You see the problem? You can now overwrite the value of b by changing the value of a... Actually, the compiler replace all variable names by an Adress in memory, with a specific size that must not change.
