Static p5_sys::global::float

pub static float: FloatInternalType

Converts a string to its floating point representation. The contents of a string must resemble a number, or NaN (not a number) will be returned. For example, float("1234.56") evaluates to 1234.56, but float("giraffe") will return NaN.

When an array of values is passed in, then an array of floats of the same length is returned.

Examples

let str = '20';
let diameter = float(str);
ellipse(width / 2, height / 2, diameter, diameter);

print(float('10.31')); // 10.31
print(float('Infinity')); // Infinity
print(float('-Infinity')); // -Infinity

Parameters

str float string to parse
