Float floatValue() in Java with examples

The floatValue() method in Float Class is a built-in function in java that returns the value specified by the calling object as float after type casting.

Syntax:  

public float floatValue()

Return Value: It returns the value of FloatObject as float.

Below programs illustrate floatValue() method in Java:

Program 1:

Java

// Java code to demonstrate
// Float floatValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Float value
        Float a = 17.47f;

        // wrapping the Float value
        // in the wrapper class Float
        Float b = new Float(a);

        // floatValue of the Float Object
        float output = b.floatValue();

        // prfloating the output
        System.out.println("Float value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Float value of 17.47 is : 17.47

Program 2:

Java

// Java code to demonstrate
// Float floatValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "54.1";

        // wrapping the Float value
        // in the wrapper class Float
        Float b = new Float(value);

        // floatValue of the Float Object
        float output = b.floatValue();

        // prfloating the output
        System.out.println("Float value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Float value of 54.1 is : 54.1
