by default the real number constants (i.e. 2.5 3.14 etc) are considered as double. Double is stored using IEEE floating point standard.
the (2.5 *2.5) gives double. when this double is passed to the printf and printed using %d. function assumes that argument is integer. So there is Data loss of 6 bytes.
and U can think what will be effect of loosing 6 bytes.

agreed except that we loose 6 bytes, rather we can say sizeof(double) - sizeof(int). As in case of linux we loose 4 bytes as sizeof(int) == 4 bytes
