Assuming you are asking, the answer is that it depends on the node, but
built-in objects will typically generate code that doesn't take extra
code for a single integer and float being mixed together. As I
mentioned, arrays are different. There aren't instructions to deal with
an array at a time, and it normally takes another buffer.
A coercion dot generates the same code as an equivalent conversion
block. The real time they are useful is to do conversions at a
different
point in the diagram. For example, if you are producing
integers in a loop, building an arry, then later the array gets
converted into an array of double, using either conversion or coercion
dots, it will use memory for the array of ints, array of doubles, and
some small storage for the scalars in the loop. If you instead do the
conversion inside the loop, the integer array never gets made, and the
total storage is for one array of double, and then an additional scalar
inside the loop.
