Code:

float square(int x)

A function called "square". It wants an integer value and returns after done a floating point value. So basically you could do this:
float val = square(5);

would i also be able to do this:

Code:

 float square;
sqaure = int x;

a floating point is a number than can either be a whole number or a decimal, right?

No, this specific code is illegal. But your thought is good:

Code:

int x(0);
float a = x;
