{
    int counter = (int)14.85;                /* L1, OK, casting operation performed */
    
    printf("%d", counter);

    int counter;
    double d = 3.7;
    counter = (int)d;
    printf("Value of counter is: %d\n", counter);
    printf("Value of d is: %lf\n", d);
    printf("Value of d with cast (int) is: %d\n", (int)d);
