SNIPPET: java.lang.Float

SNIPPET: java.lang.Float

We’ll play a little with floats here. Remember, you’ll love the language by getting worn out using it. One more exercise is not too much.

package api_package;

public class Lagosian {

static int ngozi_age = 25;

public static void main(String[] args) {

//note that this is in accord with IEEE 754

//floating point single-format bit layout.

System.out.print("Ngozi's age in floating point is: ");

System.out.println(Float.intBitsToFloat(ngozi_age));

//just to check that we are consistent

//note repetition of above methods

System.out.print("Just to be sure we're still on course:

");

System.out.println(Float.floatToRawIntBits(Float.intBitsToF

loat(ngozi_age)));

//try other exercises. you have the fundamentals to

//work with java for the maths inclined

}

}
