Why does BODS casting to int of value '.000' returns 1 and not 0?

Question

$i = cast('.0000', 'integer');

print('Int implicit conversion : ' || $i);
Returns 1

while

$i = cast('0.0000', 'integer');

print('Int implicit conversion : ' || $i);

Returns 0

Is there a reason or explanation as to why BODS assumes that no leading integer = 1?

There is no way it would give the above results.. please make sure to define the variables with the proper datatype.

I see the odd behavior:

$i = cast('.0000', 'integer'); returning 1. Will investigate and update

,

$i = cast('.0000', 'integer'); return1 - I just noticed that. Will investigate further and update.
