Java Float intValue() method example

public int intValue()

The intValue() method of Float class returns the float value represented by this object converted to type int.

Java 1.0

The intValue() method is used to transform this Float object to primitive int byte. This is basically the core functionality of this method. As we all know a float data type can have decimal digits, what will happen to that if we convert it to int? For example if we have the following expression: Float value = new Float(15.12f);. What will gonna happen is that, the decimal digit will get truncated if we use the intValue method. What we mean we say the decimal digit will get truncated such that the value returned will be be 15.

Below is a simple java example on the usage of intValue() method of Float class.

package com.javatutorialhq.java.examples;

import java.util.Scanner;

import static java.lang.System.*;

/*
 * This example source code demonstrates the use of 
 * intValue() method of Float class.
 */

public class FloatIntValueExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		// Ask user input
		System.out.print("Enter Desired Value:");
		// declare the scanner object
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		// use scanner to get value from user console
		Float userInput = scan.nextFloat();
		// close the scanner object
		scan.close();		
		// convert the Float input to int
		int value = userInput.intValue();
		out.println("Value in int is " + value);
		
	}

}

Basically on the above example, we just ask for user input on the console and then we use the scanner object to get the float input. After that we assign the value to an Float wrapper class and we then get the value in primitive data type int using the intValue() method of Float class.

Below is the sample output when you run the above example.
