I am able to avoid the implicit conversion of constructor using explicit keyword. So now, conversions like A a1 = 10; can be avoided.

But still I can initialize A a1 = A(20.2);. How can I disable the object creation such that only object can be created if we pass integer as a parameter e.g. A a1 = A(10)?

#include <iostream>

class A

public :
 explicit A(int a)
 
 num = a;
 

 int num;
;

int main()

 A a1=A(10.0);
 std::cout << a1.num;
 return 0;

You can delete A::A(<anything not an int>);:

struct A

 explicit A(int a)
 : num(a)
 

 template<class T>
 A(T) = delete;

 int num;
;

int main()

 //A a1=A(10.0); // error: use of deleted function 'A::A(T) [with T = double]'
 A a2 = A(10); // OK
 (void) a2;

The way to achieve this is to provide another constructor that would be a better match, and then delete it so you'll get an error. For your class, adding

template <typename T>
A(T) = delete;

Will stop the class from being constructed from anything that isn't an int
