    Following along with this tutorial, I come upon this syntax in the code:

    Code (csharp):
    1. Transform o = (Transform)Instantiate(prefab);
    The Instantiate(prefab) part is perfectly clear. What I don't understand is what the (Transform) before it is supposed to mean.
    Is it a cast to Transform?
