Converts an object or primitive data type to the primitive float data type.
Syntax
float toPrimitiveFloat(Object objectData) float toPrimitiveFloat(int integerData) float toPrimitiveFloat(double doubleData)
Parameters
Return values
Returns a primitive float value.
Exceptions
DtpIncompatibleFormatException - If the source data type cannot be converted to float.
Notes
This method can only handle String, Integer, Float, and Double objects; and there will be some data loss when the input type is Double.
The limitation of this method is the same as the limitation of the float type in Java.
The largest positive finite float literal is 3.40282347e+38f. The smallest positive finite nonzero literal of type float is 1.40239846e-45f, with 6-7 significant figures. Values above 99,999.99 should not be used with this data type.
Examples
float myFloat = DtpDataConversion.toPrimitiveFloat(myInteger);
