Type Casting using Span<T>
In an earlier post, we explored the possibilities of Span and performance benefits of the feature was clearly visible in our benchmark tests. We will continue exploring the Span further in this post, as attempt to cast between types using Span. The cast functionality is not that hard, thanks to the extension methods that comes … Continue reading Type Casting using Span<T>
