value; equal to the result of invoking
 ((Float) value).hashCode().value - a primitive float valuepublic static int compare(float a, float b)
float values using Float.compare(float, float). You may prefer to invoke that method
 directly; this method exists only for consistency with the other utilities
 in this package.
 Note: this method simply delegates to the JDK method Float.compare(float, float). It is provided for consistency with the other primitive
 types, whose compare methods were not added to the JDK until JDK 7.
a - the first float to compareb - the second float to compareFloat.compare(float, float)public static boolean isFinite(float value)
true if value represents a real number. This is
 equivalent to, but not necessarily implemented as,
 !(Float.isInfinite(value) || Float.isNaN(value)).public static boolean contains(float[] array, float target)
true if target is present as an element anywhere in
 array. Note that this always returns false when target is NaN.array - an array of float values, possibly emptytarget - a primitive float valuetrue if array[i] == target for some value of ipublic static int indexOf(float[] array, float target)

 is NaN.array - an array of float values, possibly emptytarget - a primitive float valuei for which array[i] == target, or
     -1 if no such index exists.public static int indexOf(float[] array, float[] target)
target within array, or -1 if there is no such occurrence.
 More formally, returns the lowest index i such that java.util.Arrays.copyOfRange(array, i, i + target.length) contains exactly
 the same elements as target.
 
Note that this always returns -1 when target contains
 NaN.

     or -1 if no such index exists.public static float min(float... array)
array, using the same rules of
 comparison as Math.min(float, float).array - a nonempty array of float valuesarray that is less than or equal to
     every other value in the arrayIllegalArgumentException - if array is emptypublic static float max(float... array)

 of comparison as Math.max(float, float).array - a nonempty array of float valuesarray that is greater than or equal to
     every other value in the arrayIllegalArgumentException - if array is emptypublic static float[] concat(float[]... arrays)
concat(new float[] {a, b}, new float[] {}, new
 float[] {c} returns the array {a, b, c}.arrays - zero or more float arrays@Beta public static Converter<String,Float> stringConverter()
Float.valueOf(java.lang.String) and Float.toString().public static float[] ensureCapacity(float[] array, int minLength, int padding)
array, but
 guaranteed to be of a specified minimum length. If array already
 has a length of at least minLength, it is returned directly.
 Otherwise, a new array of size minLength + padding is returned,
 containing the values of array, and zeroes in the remaining places.array - the source arrayminLength - the minimum length the returned array must guaranteepadding - an extra amount to "grow" the array by if growth is
     necessaryarray, with guaranteed
     minimum length minLengthIllegalArgumentException - if minLength or padding is
     negativepublic static String join(String separator, float... array)
float values, converted
 to strings as specified by Float.toString(float), and separated by
 separator. For example, join("-", 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f)
 returns the string "1.0-2.0-3.0".
 Note that Float.toString(float) formats float
 differently in GWT.  In the previous example, it returns the string "1-2-3".
separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in
     the resulting string (but not at the start or end)array - an array of float values, possibly emptypublic static Comparator<float[]> lexicographicalComparator()
float arrays
 lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(float, float)), the first pair of values that follow any
 common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the
 shorter array as the lesser. For example, [] < [1.0f] < [1.0f, 2.0f]
 < [2.0f].
 The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but
 it is consistent with Arrays.equals(float[], float[]).
public static float[] toArray(Collection<? extends Number> collection)
collection, converted to
 a float value in the manner of Number.floatValue().
 Elements are copied from the argument collection as if by collection.toArray().  Calling this method is as thread-safe as calling
 that method.
collection - a collection of Number instancescollection, in the
     same order, converted to primitivesNullPointerException - if collection or any of its elements
     is nullCollection<Float> before 12.0)public static List<Float> asList(float... backingArray)
Arrays.asList(Object[]). The list supports List.set(int, Object),
 but any attempt to set a value to null will result in a NullPointerException.
 The returned list maintains the values, but not the identities, of
 Float objects written to or read from it.  For example, whether
 list.get(0) == list.get(0) is true for the returned list is
 unspecified.
 
The returned list may have unexpected behavior if it contains NaN, or if NaN is used as a parameter to any of its methods.
backingArray - the array to back the list@Beta @Nullable @CheckForNull @GwtIncompatible(value="regular expressions") public static Float tryParse(String string)
'-' ('\u002D') is recognized
 as the minus sign.
 Unlike Float.parseFloat(String), this method returns
 null instead of throwing an exception if parsing fails.
 Valid inputs are exactly those accepted by Float.valueOf(String),
 except that leading and trailing whitespace is not permitted.
 
This implementation is likely to be faster than Float.parseFloat if many failures are expected.
string - the string representation of a float valuestring, or
     null if string has a length of zero or cannot be
     parsed as a float valueCopyright © 2010-2015. All Rights Reserved.
