Oh well..Thanks for trying. You are correct that this is not about Ada but
you are incorrect
about the answer. Integer math (C, Ada, C++, etc) truncates. It does not
round. It would not matter
if the fraction were 0.99999999 it would still truncate.
If you did the work in float and converted to an integer, it would of course
round but I don't think that is what the original poster was asking.
