It checks to see if the value used with as is of the type supplied. If so, that value is returned. If not, null is returned. If null is returned, the actual resulting variable value can differ depending on its type since, for example, Number-typed variables cannot be null, only numeric values and NaN (likely null would be converted to 0). the “as” operator isn’t a conversion function like the others.
