Invalid answer when casting from float to int

The following code, simple as it is, fails to work. I suspect it's a brain short
on my part, and willingly accept the public humiliation. Perhaps it's an actual
problem that I am just now uncovering. I am new to the toolset, so all bets are off.
The tool is a bit on the dated side. Perhaps there is an update that I'm missing.

TIA for any help.

John
