dumb datatype casting question Jul 22nd, 2005, 6:57am   Hello all I guess the hot summer breeze rusted my brain, but I'm not being able to convert a double into a float; the float() casting does not work with double values; what should I do? thanks! *edit* ok, I got this Quote: double test = 1.2345678901234567890; float f = new Double(test).floatValue(); println(f); but is there an easier way? Do I have to create a Double object like that? Thanks again!
