Convert String to Float

[asm1]

What is the quickest way to convert a String to float. I a managed to do this but the code covers about 20 lines, is there a string method to do this? At the moment my string is converted to a string buffer and then to type float. thx

float fl = Float.parseFloat("3.25");

Details are here:

that worked great thx but i notice this does not work for int is there one that i can use for a type int

 

[sedj]

int i = Integer.parseInt(var);
long l = Long.parseLong(var);
double d = Double.parseDouble(var);

and so on ...

( It helps to read the manual sometimes -
