Decimal.ToSingle() Method in C#
This method is used to convert the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent single-precision floating-point number. This method can produce round-off errors as a single-precision floating-point number has few significant digits than a Decimal.
Syntax: public static float ToSingle (decimal d);
Here, d is the decimal number which is to be converted.
Return value: It returns a single-precision floating-point number equivalent to d.
Example:
using System;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
try {
Decimal dec1 = 0.0000000000134563456789M;
Decimal dec2 = 4589662514452860951234M;
float val1 = Decimal.ToSingle(dec1);
float val2 = Decimal.ToSingle(dec2);
Console.WriteLine( "The float value "
+ "is : {0}" , val1);
Console.WriteLine( "The float value "
+ "is : {0}" , val2);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " );
Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}

Output:
The float value is : 1.345635E-11
The float value is : 4.589663E+21
