Redundant type conversion
Reports type conversions that may be omitted.
Example:
var s = string("hello")
The "hello" value is the string type already, the additional conversion to string is redundant. To remove the conversion, consider using the Delete conversion quick-fix.
After the quick-fix is applied:
var s = "hello"
Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
GoRedundantConversion- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
Sometimes conversion of a floating expression to a floating type can be intentional (refer to this issue as an example). In such cases, the IDE issues a warning about a possibly redundant conversion.
