Advertisements
Description
The java.lang.Float.toHexString() method returns a hexadecimal string representation of the float argument f.Some examples can be seen here:
| Floating-point Value | Hexadecimal String |
|---|---|
| 1.0 | 0x1.0p0 |
| -1.0 | -0x1.0p0 |
| 2.0 | 0x1.0p1 |
| 3.0 | 0x1.8p1 |
| 0.5 | 0x1.0p-1 |
| 0.25 | 0x1.0p-2 |
| Float.MAX_VALUE | 0x1.fffffep127 |
| Minimum Normal Value | 0x1.0p-126 |
| Maximum Subnormal Value | 0x0.fffffep-126 |
| Float.MIN_VALUE | 0x0.000002p-126 |
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.lang.Float.toHexString() method
public static String toHexString(float f)
Parameters
f -- This is the float to be converted.
Return Value
This method returns a hex string representation of the argument.
Exception
NA
Example
The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Float.toHexString() method.
package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.lang.*;
public class FloatDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Float f = new Float("50.32");
/* returns a hexadecimal string representation of the
float argument */
String str = f.toHexString(1.0f);
System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
str = f.toHexString(3.0f);
System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
str = f.toHexString(0.25f);
System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
str = f.toHexString(Float.MIN_VALUE);
System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
}
}
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
Hex String = 0x1.0p0 Hex String = 0x1.8p1 Hex String = 0x1.0p-2 Hex String = 0x0.000002p-126
