The Float class wraps a value of primitive type float
in
an object. An object of type Float
contains a single
field whose type is float
.
In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a
float
to a String
and a
String
to a float
, as well as other
constants and methods useful when dealing with a
float
.

s
is interpreted as the representation of a
floating-point value and a Float
object representing that
value is created and returned.
If s
is null
, then a
NullPointerException
is thrown.
Leading and trailing whitespace characters in s are ignored. The rest
of s
should constitute a FloatValue as described
by the lexical syntax rules:
where Sign, FloatingPointLiteral are as defined in §3.10.2 of the Java Language Specification. If it does not have the form of a FloatValue, then aFloatValue: Signopt FloatingPointLiteral
NumberFormatException
is thrown. Otherwise, it is
regarded as representing an exact decimal value in the usual
"computerized scientific notation"; this exact decimal value is then
conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise" binary value that
is then rounded to type float by the usual round-to-nearest rule of
IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic.s

value represented by this Float object.public boolean equals(Object obj)
true
if and only if the argument is
not null
and is a Float
object that
represents a float
that has the identical bit pattern
to the bit pattern of the float
represented by this
object. For this purpose, two float values are considered to be
the same if and only if the method floatToIntBits(float)
returns the same int value when applied to each.
Note that in most cases, for two instances of class
Float
, f1
and f2
, the value
of f1.equals(f2)
is true
if and only if
f1.floatValue() == f2.floatValue()
also has the value true
. However, there are two exceptions:
f1
and f2
both represent
Float.NaN
, then the equals
method returns
true
, even though Float.NaN==Float.NaN
has the value false
.
f1
represents +0.0f
while
f2
represents -0.0f
, or vice versa,
the equal
test has the value false
,
even though 0.0f==-0.0f
has the value true
.

- a floating-point number.public static float intBitsToFloat(int bits)
If the argument is 0x7f800000
, the result is positive
infinity.
If the argument is 0xff800000
, the result is negative
infinity.
If the argument is any value in the range 0x7f800001
through 0x7fffffff
or in the range
0xff800001
through 0xffffffff
, the result is
NaN. All IEEE 754 NaN values are, in effect, lumped together by
the Java language into a single value called NaN.
In all other cases, let s, e, and m be three values that can be computed from the argument:
Then the floating-point result equals the value of the mathematical expression s·m·2e-150.int s = ((bits >> 31) == 0) ? 1 : -1; int e = ((bits >> 23) & 0xff); int m = (e == 0) ? (bits & 0x7fffff) << 1 : (bits & 0x7fffff) | 0x800000;
