I have seen typecasting done more than one like

int a = (int)(int)b

Dog obj = (Dog)(Dog)Animalobj

What is difference between

int a =(int)b and
int a = (int)(int) b

I don't think there is important difference in that
because ultimately we are typecasting into some desired type

The extra type cast is redundant, its allowed but there is no use of it...

For when you really want to make sure it's a dog.

No, Ankit's right. It has no effect whatsoever. Possibly it had been written by someone that didn't quite understand what was going on.
