I can easily type floating point literals of wanted precision: julia> typeof(3.14f0) Float32
julia> typeof(3.14) Float64 julia> typeof(3.14e0) Float64 But i have to resort to converter method, in order to avoid being platform-dependent. julia> typeof(42) # platform-dependent Int64 julia> typeof(int64(42)) Int64 julia> typeof(int32(42)) Int32 Is this intended or has there been a discussion about this? Thanks, Jong Wook
