If you use a real number to initialize an int variable, the real what happens to the real before it is stored in the variable.

This looks like some sort of exam question.

The answer depends on what you call a whole number. The mathematical whole number can be stored in various ways.

For example, a 3 could be stored in an int. But a .3 could also be stored in an int as a 3. In the second case, the programmer has "scaled" the value so that a decimal appears as a whole number.

Your example code uses 0, '0', "0" etc as values. Are these whole numbers in your definition?

Two of these should generate compiler errors. They can be eliminated.
