| Name | float() |
|---|---|
| Examples | int i = 65; float f = float(i); println(i + " : " + f); // Prints "65 : 65.0" |
| Description |
Converts an int or String to its floating point representation. An int is easily converted to a float, but the contents of a String must resemble a number, or NaN (not a number) will be returned. For example, float("1234.56") evaluates to 1234.56, but float("giraffe") will return NaN. When an array of int or String values is passed in, then a floating point array of the same length is returned. |
