The java.math.BigDecimal.floatValue() converts this BigDecimal to a float. If this BigDecimal has too great a magnitude represent as a float, it will be converted to Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY or Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY as appropriate. The conversion can also lose information about the precision of the BigDecimal value when the return value is finite.
Following is the declaration for java.math.BigDecimal.floatValue() method.
public Float floatValue()
floatValue in class Number.
NA
This method returns the float value of the BigDecimal Object.
NA
The following example shows the usage of math.BigDecimal.floatValue() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.math.*; public class BigDecimalDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a BigDecimal object BigDecimal bg; // create a Float object Float f; bg = new BigDecimal("1234.123486"); // assign the converted value of bg to f f = bg.floatValue(); String str = "Float value of " + bg + " is " + f; // print f value System.out.println( str ); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Float value of 1234.123486 is 1234.1235
