delta = abs(float_value - integer_value)

if delta is greater than 10^9, then float is the correct answer,
otherwise integer value is preferred.

The constant 10^9 does not suit for combination of 4-byte floats and 8-byte integers.

This constant should be 10^9 for 32-bit integers and 10^18 for 64-bit integers.
