DESCRIPTION:
------------
Converts a given value to a given data type, and returns the result.
If the value can not be converted, the given default value is returned.
NB: If d_type is given in a list, e.g. [str], it is assume that value should be a list and each item in value
will be converted to the given data type. If any item in the list cannot be converted, None will be returned.
PARAMETERS:
-----------
:param value: the value to be converted
:param d_type: the data type to convert the value to
:param default: the default value to return if the current value
:param sub_space: the list of strings that defines the current sub-space
RETURN:
-------
:return: new_value
