Method Detail
toString
public static String toString(float f)
Returns a string representation of thefloatargument. All characters mentioned below are ASCII characters.- If the argument is NaN, the result is the string "
NaN". - Otherwise, the result is a string that represents the sign and magnitude (absolute value) of the argument. If the sign is negative, the first character of the result is '
-' ('\u002D'); if the sign is positive, no sign character appears in the result. As for the magnitudem:- Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the characters
"Infinity"; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity"and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity". - Ifm is zero, it is represented by the characters
"0.0"; thus, negative zero produces the result"-0.0"and positive zero produces the result"0.0". - Ifm is greater than or equal to 10-3 but less than 107, then it is represented as the integer part ofm, in decimal form with no leading zeroes, followed by '
.' ('\u002E'), followed by one or more decimal digits representing the fractional part ofm. - Ifm is less than 10-3 or greater than or equal to 107, then it is represented in so-called "computerized scientific notation." Letn be the unique integer such that 10n≤m < 10n+1; then leta be the mathematically exact quotient ofm and 10n so that 1 ≤a < 10. The magnitude is then represented as the integer part ofa, as a single decimal digit, followed by '
.' ('\u002E'), followed by decimal digits representing the fractional part ofa, followed by the letter 'E' ('\u0045'), followed by a representation ofn as a decimal integer, as produced by the methodInteger.toString(int).
- Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the characters
float. That is, suppose thatx is the exact mathematical value represented by the decimal representation produced by this method for a finite nonzero argumentf. Thenf must be thefloatvalue nearest tox; or, if twofloatvalues are equally close tox, thenf must be one of them and the least significant bit of the significand off must be0.To create localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses of
NumberFormat.- Parameters:
f- the float to be converted.- Returns:
- a string representation of the argument.
- If the argument is NaN, the result is the string "
toHexString
public static String toHexString(float f)
Returns a hexadecimal string representation of thefloatargument. All characters mentioned below are ASCII characters.- If the argument is NaN, the result is the string "
NaN". - Otherwise, the result is a string that represents the sign and magnitude (absolute value) of the argument. If the sign is negative, the first character of the result is '
-' ('\u002D'); if the sign is positive, no sign character appears in the result. As for the magnitudem:- Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the string
"Infinity"; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity"and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity". - Ifm is zero, it is represented by the string
"0x0.0p0"; thus, negative zero produces the result"-0x0.0p0"and positive zero produces the result"0x0.0p0". - Ifm is a
floatvalue with a normalized representation, substrings are used to represent the significand and exponent fields. The significand is represented by the characters"0x1."followed by a lowercase hexadecimal representation of the rest of the significand as a fraction. Trailing zeros in the hexadecimal representation are removed unless all the digits are zero, in which case a single zero is used. Next, the exponent is represented by"p"followed by a decimal string of the unbiased exponent as if produced by a call toInteger.toStringon the exponent value. - Ifm is a
floatvalue with a subnormal representation, the significand is represented by the characters"0x0."followed by a hexadecimal representation of the rest of the significand as a fraction. Trailing zeros in the hexadecimal representation are removed. Next, the exponent is represented by"p-126". Note that there must be at least one nonzero digit in a subnormal significand.
- Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the string

valueOf
public static Float valueOf(String s) throwsNumberFormatException
Returns aFloatobject holding thefloatvalue represented by the argument strings.If
sisnull, then aNullPointerExceptionis thrown.Leading and trailing whitespace characters in
sare ignored. Whitespace is removed as if by theString.trim()method; that is, both ASCII space and control characters are removed. The rest ofsshould constitute aFloatValue as described by the lexical syntax rules:

sdoes not have the form of aFloatValue, then aNumberFormatExceptionis thrown. Otherwise,sis regarded as representing an exact decimal value in the usual "computerized scientific notation" or as an exact hexadecimal value; this exact numerical value is then conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise" binary value that is then rounded to typefloatby the usual round-to-nearest rule of IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic, which includes preserving the sign of a zero value. Note that the round-to-nearest rule also implies overflow and underflow behaviour; if the exact value ofsis large enough in magnitude (greater than or equal to (MAX_VALUE+ulp(MAX_VALUE)/2), rounding tofloatwill result in an infinity and if the exact value ofsis small enough in magnitude (less than or equal toMIN_VALUE/2), rounding to float will result in a zero. Finally, after rounding aFloatobject representing thisfloatvalue is returned.To interpret localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses of
NumberFormat.Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that determine the type of a floating-point literal (
1.0fis afloatvalue;1.0dis adoublevalue), donot influence the results of this method. In other words, the numerical value of the input string is converted directly to the target floating-point type. In general, the two-step sequence of conversions, string todoublefollowed bydoubletofloat, isnot equivalent to converting a string directly tofloat. For example, if first converted to an intermediatedoubleand then tofloat, the string"1.00000017881393421514957253748434595763683319091796875001d"
results in thefloatvalue1.0000002f; if the string is converted directly tofloat,1.0000001fresults.To avoid calling this method on an invalid string and having a
NumberFormatExceptionbe thrown, the documentation forDouble.valueOflists a regular expression which can be used to screen the input.- Parameters:
s- the string to be parsed.- Returns:
- a
Floatobject holding the value represented by theStringargument. - Throws:
NumberFormatException- if the string does not contain a parsable number.
valueOf
public static Float valueOf(float f)

floatToIntBits
public static int floatToIntBits(float value)
Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.Bit 31 (the bit that is selected by the mask
0x80000000) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 30-23 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x7f800000) represent the exponent. Bits 22-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x007fffff) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.If the argument is positive infinity, the result is
0x7f800000.If the argument is negative infinity, the result is
0xff800000.If the argument is NaN, the result is
0x7fc00000.In all cases, the result is an integer that, when given to the
intBitsToFloat(int)method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument tofloatToIntBits(except all NaN values are collapsed to a single "canonical" NaN value).- Parameters:
value- a floating-point number.- Returns:
- the bits that represent the floating-point number.
floatToRawIntBits
public static int floatToRawIntBits(float value)
Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout, preserving Not-a-Number (NaN) values.Bit 31 (the bit that is selected by the mask
0x80000000) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 30-23 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x7f800000) represent the exponent. Bits 22-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x007fffff) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.If the argument is positive infinity, the result is
0x7f800000.If the argument is negative infinity, the result is
0xff800000.If the argument is NaN, the result is the integer representing the actual NaN value. Unlike the
floatToIntBitsmethod,floatToRawIntBitsdoes not collapse all the bit patterns encoding a NaN to a single "canonical" NaN value.In all cases, the result is an integer that, when given to the
intBitsToFloat(int)method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument tofloatToRawIntBits.- Parameters:
value- a floating-point number.- Returns:
- the bits that represent the floating-point number.
- Since:
- 1.3
intBitsToFloat
public static float intBitsToFloat(int bits)
Returns thefloatvalue corresponding to a given bit representation. The argument is considered to be a representation of a floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.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
0x7f800001through0x7fffffffor in the range0xff800001through0xffffffff, the result is a NaN. No IEEE 754 floating-point operation provided by Java can distinguish between two NaN values of the same type with different bit patterns. Distinct values of NaN are only distinguishable by use of theFloat.floatToRawIntBitsmethod.In all other cases, lets,e, andm be three values that can be computed from the argument:
Then the floating-point result equals the value of the mathematical expressions·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;Note that this method may not be able to return a
floatNaN with exactly same bit pattern as theintargument. IEEE 754 distinguishes between two kinds of NaNs, quiet NaNs andsignaling NaNs. The differences between the two kinds of NaN are generally not visible in Java. Arithmetic operations on signaling NaNs turn them into quiet NaNs with a different, but often similar, bit pattern. However, on some processors merely copying a signaling NaN also performs that conversion. In particular, copying a signaling NaN to return it to the calling method may perform this conversion. SointBitsToFloatmay not be able to return afloatwith a signaling NaN bit pattern. Consequently, for someintvalues,floatToRawIntBits(intBitsToFloat(start))maynot equalstart. Moreover, which particular bit patterns represent signaling NaNs is platform dependent; although all NaN bit patterns, quiet or signaling, must be in the NaN range identified above.- Parameters:
bits- an integer.- Returns:
- the
floatfloating-point value with the same bit pattern.
compareTo
public int compareTo(Float anotherFloat)
Compares twoFloatobjects numerically. There are two ways in which comparisons performed by this method differ from those performed by the Java language numerical comparison operators (<, <=, ==, >=, >) when applied to primitivefloatvalues:Float.NaNis considered by this method to be equal to itself and greater than all otherfloatvalues (includingFloat.POSITIVE_INFINITY).0.0fis considered by this method to be greater than-0.0f.
Floatobjects imposed by this method isconsistent with equals.- Specified by:
