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