Number.floatValue() method in java with examples

The java.lang.Number.floatValue() is an inbuilt method in java that returns the value of the specified number casted to float data type. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Syntax:

public abstract float floatValue()

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method returns the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type float.

Below programs illustrate the Number.floatValue() method:

Program 1:

// Below program demonstrate the
// Number.floatValue() method
public class gfg {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // number with integer datatype
        Integer x = new Integer(1785423456);
        // print the value as float
        System.out.println(x.floatValue());

        // number with double datatype
        Double y = new Double(97854876);
        // print the value as float
        System.out.println(y.floatValue());
    }
}

Output:

1.78542349E9
9.785488E7

Program 2:

// Below program demonstrate the
// Number.floatValue() method

public class gfg {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // number with integer datatype
        Integer x = new Integer(456);
        // print the value as float
        System.out.println(x.floatValue());

        // number with double datatype
        Double y = new Double(96);
        // print the value as float
        System.out.println(y.floatValue());
    }
}

Output:

456.0
96.0
