Java BigDecimal floatValue() method

The floatValue() method of java BigDecimal class is used to Convert this BigDecimal to a float value. when the return value is finite, this conversion can lose information about the precision of the BigDecimal value.

Syntax:

Parameter:

Exception:

Returns:

It returns float value after conversion from BigDecimal.

Example 1

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalFloatValueExample1 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {  
      // Create  BigDecimal object  
        BigDecimal bdValue;  
  
      // Create a float variable  
       float floatValue;  
           
       // Assigning Value into BigDecimal object  
       bdValue = new BigDecimal("1532.1276");  
  
      // It will return a float value  
       floatValue = bdValue.floatValue();  
            
      //Displaying float value  
         System.out.println("Returned float value is : "+floatValue);  
    }  
}

Test it Now

Output:

Returned float value is : 1532.1276

Example 2

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalFloatValueExample2 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
	       // Create  BigDecimal object
	       BigDecimal bdValue;

	       // Create a float variable
	       float floatValue;
          
	       // Assigning Value into BigDecimal object
	       bdValue = new BigDecimal("16322.127655");

	       // It will return a float value
	       floatValue = bdValue.floatValue();
           
	       //Displaying float value
           System.out.println("Returned float value is : "+floatValue);
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Returned float value is : 16322.128

Example 3

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalFloatValueExample3 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	      // Create  BigDecimal object
	        BigDecimal bdValue;

	      // Create a float variable
	       float floatValue;
          
	       // Assigning Value into BigDecimal object
	       bdValue = new BigDecimal("1632662.127655");

	      // It will return a float value
	       floatValue = bdValue.floatValue();
           
	      //Displaying float value
          System.out.println("Returned float value is : "+floatValue);
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Returned float value is : 1632662.1

Example 4

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalFloatValueExample4 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {  
            // Create  BigDecimal object  
            BigDecimal bdValue;  
  
           // Create a float variable  
           float floatValue;  
            
           // Assigning Value into BigDecimal object  
           bdValue = new BigDecimal("-165662.1276");  
  
           // It will return a float value  
           floatValue = bdValue.floatValue();  
             
           //Displaying float value  
           System.out.println("Returned float value is : "+floatValue);
    }
