How to Compare Two Float Numbers in Java

Here we show how to compare a Float object with other Float object, Float with an Object, or two float primitive values with methods provided by java.lang.Float class.

Source Code

package com.beginner.examples;

public class CompareToFloatExample {

	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	
		float f1 = 2.2f;
		
		float f2 = 2.02f;
		
		//Compare using the compare() method in the Float class
		//1: f1 is greater than f2
		//-1: f1 is less than f2
		//0: f1 equals f2
		int result = Float.compare(f1, f2);
		
		System.out.println(result);
		
	
		Float float1 = new Float(22.1);
		
		Float float2 = new Float(22.2);
		
		//Use the compareTo() method in the Float object to compare
		
		int result2 = float1.compareTo(float2);
		
		System.out.println(result2);
	
	}

}

Output:

1
-1
