Method valueOf

Returns the floating point value represented by the specified String. The string s is interpreted as the representation of a floating-point value and a Float object representing that value is created and returned. If s is null, then a NullPointerException is thrown. Leading and trailing whitespace c

     * , then a NumberFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, it is regarded as representing an exact decimal value in the usual "computerized scientific notation"; this exact decimal value is then conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise" binary value that is then rounded to type float by the usual round-to-nearest rule of IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic.
