Idiom #80 Truncate floating point number to integer

Declare integer y and initialize it with the value of floating point number x . Ignore non-integer digits of x .
Make sure to truncate towards zero: a negative x must yield the closest greater integer (not lesser).

int y = (int)x;
int y = static_cast<int>(x);
Y : constant Integer := Integer (Float'Truncation (X));
