Float

[Mahesh Mamani]

Hi All,
I want to get float value of a string, but for small values I get it in the form "6.0E-4". Can any1 help me in getting 0.0006 in Float value???

public class flt1{
public static void main(String kk[]){
String val = "0.0006";
Float resultflt = new Float(val);
System.out.println("Flt val is "+resultflt.floatValue());
}
}
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps use DecimalFormat:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.0000");
 
String val = "0.0006";
 
Float resultflt = new Float(val);
 
System.out.println("Flt val is " + df.format(resultflt.floatValue()));

Good Luck.

Mahesh, try using the code you already wrote. The new Float(String) constructor already understands how to parse "6.0E-04" and the like. Incidentally you can also use Float.parseFloat(String) to get a float directly, without using a Float. Enjoy...
