Converting an expression of a given type to another type is known as type conversion.

## Legacy version compatibility

* nGQL 1.0 adopts the `C`-style of type conversion (implicitly or explicitly): `(type_name)expression`. For example, the results of `YIELD (int)(TRUE)` is `1`. But it is error-prone to users who are not familiar with the C language.

* since nGQL 2.0, the openCypher way of type coercions is adopted.

## Type coercions functions

| Function | Description |
| - | - |
| toBoolean() | Converts a string value to a boolean value. |
| toFloat() | Converts an integer or string value to a floating point number. |
| toInteger() | Converts a floating point or string value to an integer value. |
| toSet() | Converts a list or set value to a set value.|
| type() | Returns the string representation of the relationship type. |
