java.lang.Float (JDK 1.0)

This class provides an immutable object wrapper around the float primitive data type. valueOf() converts a string to a Float, floatValue() returns the primitive float value of a Float object, and there are methods for returning a Float value as a variety of other primitive types.

This class also provides some useful constants and static methods for testing float values. MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE are the smallest (closest to zero) and largest representable double values. isInfinite() in class method and instance method forms tests whether a float or a Float has an infinite value. Similarly, isNaN() tests whether a float or Float is not-a-number--this is a comparison that cannot be done directly because the NaN constant never tests equal to any other value, including itself. floatToIntBits() and intBitsToFloat() allow you to manipulate the bit representation of a float directly.
