Functional Testing Question

Hi,

can any one answer me the following question?

I have three text fields, one should accept a string as input,
second text box should accept a float as input and
the third text box is for output.
the output should be an integer. what are the possible test cases we can write for the above functionality?

My answer: 1.verify that the first field is accepting string.
2.verify that the first field is not accepting any thing other than a text(numbers(purely numbers with out any string data type) null characters, special characters)
3.verify that the second field is accepting float values.
4. verify that the second field is not acepting any thig other than float.
5.verify the output when the above conditions are met, o not.

then the interviewer replied that my explanation is correct. but it explains only +ve and negetive testing, but it didn't perofrm other tests. can any one tell me what could be the other test cases I can write for the above example?
