BigDecimal#to_f() : to_f() is a BigDecimal class method which returns a new Float object having approximately the same value as the BigDecimal number.
Syntax: BigDecimal.to_f()
Parameter: BigDecimal values
Return: a new Float object having approximately the same value as the BigDecimal number.
Example #1 :
# Ruby code for BigDecimal.to_f() method # loading library require 'bigdecimal'
require 'bigdecimal/util'
# declaring bigdecimal a = BigDecimal( "10" )
# declaring bigdecimal b = -BigDecimal( "10" )
# declaring bigdecimal c = -BigDecimal( "11.43" )
# to_f() method puts "BigDecimal a to_f method : #{a.to_f()}\n\n"
puts "BigDecimal b to_f method : #{b.to_f()}\n\n"
puts "BigDecimal c to_f method : #{c.to_f()}\n\n"
|
Output :
BigDecimal a to_f method : 10.0 BigDecimal b to_f method : -10.0 BigDecimal c to_f method : -11.43
Example #2 :
# Ruby code for BigDecimal.to_f() method # loading library require 'bigdecimal'
require 'bigdecimal/util'
# declaring bigdecimal a = BigDecimal( '12' )* 12
# declaring bigdecimal b = BigDecimal( '10' )-( 22 ** 7 . 1 ) ** 10
# declaring bigdecimal c = BigDecimal( '-3' )
# to_f() method puts "BigDecimal a to_f method : #{a.to_f()}\n\n"
puts "BigDecimal b to_f method : #{b.to_f()}\n\n"
puts "BigDecimal c to_f method : #{c.to_f()}\n\n"

Output :
BigDecimal a to_f method : 144.0 BigDecimal b to_f method : -2.051211007305864e+95 BigDecimal c to_f method : -3.0
