Casting a tensor to another (tensor) datatype

TensorFlow variables of one type may be cast (coerced) to another type. More details may be found at https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/cast.

Take the following example:

i = tf.cast(t1, dtype=tf.int32) # 42
i

The output will be as follows:

<tf.Tensor: id=116, shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=42>

With truncation, it would be as follows:

j = tf.cast(tf.constant(4.9), dtype=tf.int32) # 4
j

The output will be as follows:

<tf.Tensor: id=119, shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=4>
