Here is a reference from "The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Edition"
by Bjarne Stroustrup, Page 835, section - C.6.2.6:

----------------------------------------------------
............

int i = float ( 1234567890);

left i with the value 1234567936 on a machine, where both ints and
floats are represented using 32 bits.

Clearly, it is best to avoid using potentially value-destroying
implicit conversions. .... .....................
