Such cast is really invalid. The code is incorrect (even if it always works).

Use dynamic cast if you are not sure if your runtime type is the type you are casting to (if not, you will need to decide what to do), or, if you are sure, use the static cast. There kinds of cast are described in every C++ manual or a book. Read about it. You need to learn it anyway, because this is a very important part of programming, C++ programming in particular.
