Is there a difference between int(floatvar) and (int)floatvar?

I have seen and used both variants of these typecasts:

int(floatvar)

(int)floatvar

Is there any difference between the two? Are there any preferences about when to use which?

Answer 1

There is no difference between them. (int)floatvar is C way of doing the cast where as int(floatvar) is the C++ way (Although it is better to be explicit and use static_cast<>).
