vba: what is 97.45 * 1# =?

Question

some_integer = 97.45 * 1#

what does this notation mean? what will some_integer = ?

Answer 1

1# means "1 as a double". Of course, if some_integer is an integer, then the non-integer portions of the resulting expression will be truncated to 97 (and thus I am confused what it is doing in this case).
