convert variable from string to float in java

Code snippet on how to convert variable from string to float in java

// Code to convert a string to a float
float result; 
String str = "10.25"; 
result = Float.parseFloat(str);

This code is written in Java and allows for a string variable to be converted to a float variable. The code begins by declaring a variable “result” of type float. Then, it declares a string variable “str”, and assigns the string “10.25” to str. Lastly, the line “result = Float.parseFloat(str)” uses the “parseFloat” method from the “Float” class to convert the string “str” to a float type and assigns it to the float variable “result”. The value of “result” will be 10.25 (a float).
