The float keyword in Java programming language

In this tutorial, we will discuss about the float keyword in java programming language

In the java language, float keyword is used to declare a variable as a numeric type. float is a primitive data type which is used to store 32 bit float data type.

Declaration of variable

syntax of float data type declaration

float <variable_name> = <float_value>;

Example of variable

Example of float keyword for variable declaration

float average = 45.87;

The float keyword can be used to declare return type of a method.

Declaration of method

Syntax of float method

<access_modifier> <return_type> <method_name>;
{
return <method_name>;
}

The float keyword in Java

Example of method

Example of float method

public float getAverage(){

return getFirstAverage;

}

Above method is a float method which does return any value.

Example float method within class

public class Example _float{  // this is a class in java
public static void main(String args[]){ // this is main method in java
}
public float add(){  // this is a float method which is  return value;
}
}

Program 1

public class float_Keyword{
        public static void main(String args[]){
            float d1=35.87f; //float keyword is used as variable
            float d2=43.6f;
            float result=d1+d2;
            System.out.println("The result is :"+result);
                    }

            }

When the above code is compiled and executed, it will produce the following results

The result is : 79.47

program 2

public class float_Keyword1{
        public static void main(String args[]){
        add(14.56f,46.7f);
        }
        static float add(float a,float b){
            //float keyword is used with method
        float result=a+b;
        System.out.println("The result is :"+result);
        return result;//return value
                    }

            }

When the above code is compiled and executed, it will produce the following results
