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
