What the parameter(?or prefix) in parentheses before class method's name do when i call it?
<p>I am  new in Java(yes, and in English too=)).
What the prefix in parentheses before class method's name do?
For example, </p>

<pre><code>(EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
</code></pre>

<p><code>R.id.text</code> is parameter, but what is the <code>(EditText)</code>prefix? What it do?</p>
