The java.lang.Float.intBitsToFloat() method returns the float value corresponding to a given bit representation. The argument is considered to be a representation of a floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.It includes the following important points −
Following is the declaration for java.lang.Float.intBitsToFloat() method
public static float intBitsToFloat(int bits)
bits − This is an integer.
This method returns the floating-point value with the same bit pattern.
NA
The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Float.intBitsToFloat() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.lang.*; public class FloatDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { Float f = new Float("2.50f"); /* returns the floating-point value with the same bit pattern */ System.out.println(f.intBitsToFloat(123)); System.out.println(f.intBitsToFloat(0x7f800000)); System.out.println(f.intBitsToFloat(0xff800000)); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
1.72E-43 Infinity -Infinity
