Hi,
In general type conversions look much like function calls, where the
destination type is the "function". For example:
procedure A_Test is
A_Integer : Integer := 10;
A_Float : Float := 10.0;
begin
A_Integer := Integer(A_Float); -- Converts the float to an integer.
A_Float := Float(A_Integer); -- Converts the integer to a float.
end A_Test;
Note that the cast from float to integer will round.
Hope this helps,
Mike
