X  : Float := 1.234 ;
Y  : Integer := 0 ;
....

Y := Integer (X) ; -- Y should now contain the value "1"

There are a number of ways of handling truncation & rounding, but this
is the plain vanilla way to do it. The type name acts as a function to
perform the conversion. However, it only works with "compatible" types.
(You can't for example, convert a String to a Float this way.)
