In section 3.14

ADD the text in blue to the following sentence

A data type can be changed by using a cast ( ’ ) operation. The expression to be cast must be enclosed in
parenthesis or within concatenation or replication braces and is self-determined.

ADD the text in blue to the following sentence

A positive decimal number as a data type means a number of bits to change the size.

ADD this paragraph in blue after

signed’(x)

The expression inside the cast must be an integral value when changing the size or signing. When changing the size, the signing passes through unchanged. When changing the signing, the size passes through unchanged.

REPLACE in section A.2.2.1

casting_type ::= simple_type | number | signing

WITH

casting_type ::= simple_type | size | signing
