Method Descriptions¶

float float ( bool from )

Cast a bool value to a floating point value, float(true) will be equal to 1.0 and float(false) will be equal to 0.0.

float float ( int from )

Cast an int value to a floating point value, float(1) will be equal to 1.0.

float float ( String from )

Cast a String value to a floating point value. This method accepts float value strings like "1.23" and exponential notation strings for its parameter so calling float("1e3") will return 1000.0 and calling float("1e-3") will return 0.001.
