Subject: type casting and connversion in ruby

In programming world type casting and type conversion has completely
different meaning we all know. Now in ruby's world which it supports?
Does ruby supports both or either of them?

With the below code what it did - casting or conversion?

"12".to_i #=> 12
"abc12".to_i #=> 0
"12".to_i.class #=> Fixnum
"abc12".to_i.class #=> Fixnum
12.to_s.class #=> String

If it supports both as like C then please provide me some examples for
casting and conversion too.
