See section 4.6 of the Ada Reference Manual for the full details - there are
implications with things like rounding, etc. that you may need to understand.
Basically, it looks like a function call with the type name as the name of the
function. As in:

declare
    X : Integer ;
    Y : Float := 1.234 ;
begin
    X := Float (Y) ;
end ;

Good luck.
