unnecessary_cast
Unnecessary cast.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the value being cast is already known to be of the type that it's being cast to.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because n
is already known to be an int
as a result of the is
test:
dart
void f(num n) {
if (n is int) {
(n as int).isEven;
}
}
Common fixes
#Remove the unnecessary cast:
dart
void f(num n) {
if (n is int) {
n.isEven;
}
}
