# SafeCast

Contains methods for safely casting between types

### Functions[​](https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v3/reference/core/libraries/SafeCast#functions) <a href="#functions" id="functions"></a>

#### toUint160[​](https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v3/reference/core/libraries/SafeCast#touint160) <a href="#touint160" id="touint160"></a>

```solidity
  function toUint160(
    uint256 y
  ) internal pure returns (uint160 z)
```

Cast a uint256 to a uint160, revert on overflow

**Parameters:**[**​**](https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v3/reference/core/libraries/SafeCast#parameters)

| Name | Type    | Description                  |
| ---- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| `y`  | uint256 | The uint256 to be downcasted |

**Return Values:**[**​**](https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v3/reference/core/libraries/SafeCast#return-values)

| Name | Type    | Description                              |
| ---- | ------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `z`  | uint160 | The downcasted integer, now type uint160 |

#### toInt128[​](https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v3/reference/core/libraries/SafeCast#toint128) <a href="#toint128" id="toint128"></a>

```solidity
  function toInt128(
    int256 y
  ) internal pure returns (int128 z)
```

Cast a int256 to a int128, revert on overflow or underflow
