`7.6 as int` won't compile because the `as` operator returns `null` if the cast it not possible. Since `null` cannot be assigned to an `int`, the code will not compile. – Wai Ha Lee Jul 26 '16 at 16:27

as will return null if it can't convert to the given type. Casting will throw an exception

The as operator is like a cast operation. However, if the conversion isn't possible, as returns null.
if you use an implicit cast and the cast is not possible you will get an exception.
