Question about List of Lists

I'm working with list of lists and there is a syntax I'm seeing that I'm not familiar with.  Can someone clarify what this is doing?
  
List<List<sObject>> myListOfLists = New List<List<sObject>>();
myListOfLists = [SOME SOSL QUERY];

List<myObject> oneList = New List<myObject>();

oneList = ((List<myObject>)myListOfLists[0]);
The section in bold is what I don't understand is happening?  Can someone explain?   It almost looks like it's casting the first list as my new list type but I'm not sure.
Thanks for the help.

Since myListOfLists is a List<List<Sobject>> myListOfLists[0] returns one list, which you are casting into a specific List

Ok so it is the Syntax of "casting".   I've never seen it done that way, I come from a vb background.  Thanks!
