It means he's used to "real" programming languages that need to be told,
upfront, what kind of value will be stored in a particular variable.

In Java or C++ he would net need to ask this question becuase he would have
told the compiler that 'endMinutes' is an INTEGER and all would be right
with the world.

Thats what TYPE CAST means.
