Does this method seem strange to you?

It seems strange to me but then my .net skills are severely lacking. The language is c#. The method was found inside of a string class for a scripting language editor.

public static explicit operator String(long i)

{

return new String(((int)(uint)i).ToString());

}

It seems to me that when the long is cast to a uint and then to an int a lot of information will be lost.

Pretty dumb method. Should be:

public static explicit operator String(long i)
{
return i.ToString();
}

Lol.

That's what I was thinking.
