by a value of <code>T</code>.
As a special case, an integer constant <code>x</code> can be explicitly converted to a
<a href="#String_types">string type</a> using the
<a href="#Conversions_to_and_from_a_string_type">same rule</a>
as for non-constant <code>x</code>.
</p>

Converting a constant yields a typed constant as result.

uint(iota)               // iota value of type uint

Even though interfaces that are not type parameters are <a href="#Comparison_operators">comparable</a>,
they are not strictly comparable and therefore they do not implement <code>comparable</code>.
However, they <a href="#Satisfying_a_type_constraint">satisfy</a> <code>comparable</code>.

int                          // implements comparable (int is strictly comparable)
