```

## Parameters

- `scalarType`: The destination scalar type.

## Return Value

Return Value A new tensor with its contents cast to the given scalar type.

## Discussion

Discussion For example: let x = MLTensor([1, 2, 3], scalarType: Int32.self) let y = x.cast(to: Float.self) y.scalarType // is Float
