Please trim you quotes and cleanup all the unwanted blank lines that

You are "casting", not "typecasting".

You are passing the address of an int, which probably has a size of 4 to 
a function expecting the address of a double, which probably has a size 
of 8.  Consider what happens when 8 bytes are written to something 4 
bytes long...
