In this article, we will show you how to convert Java wrapper class Float or primitive type float to String code examples. Performing conversion from wrapper class Float or primitive type float to String is a common scenario when programming with Java.

In this article, we will show you 7 different ways we can do convert wrapper class Float or primitive type float to String.

Convert using Float.toString(float)
Convert using String.valueOf(float)
Convert using new Float(float).toString()
Convert using String.format()
Convert using DecimalFormat
Convert using StringBuffer
Convert using StringBuilder

Please refer the comments in program are self descriptive.

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class ConvertFloatToStringExample {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  // Convert using Float.toString(int)
  float f = 100.25f;
  String floatAsString = Float.toString(f);
  System.out.println("Convert using Float.toString(int) -> " + floatAsString);

  // Convert using String.valueOf(int)
  String floatAsString1 = String.valueOf(f);
  System.out.println("Convert using String.valueOf(int) -> " + floatAsString1);

  // Convert using new Integer(int).toString()
  Float floatInstance = new Float(f);
  String floatAsString2 = floatInstance.toString();
  System.out.println("Convert using new Long(int).toString() -> " + floatAsString2);

  // Convert using String.format()
  String floatAsString3 = String.format("%f", f);
  System.out.println("Convert using String.format() -> " + floatAsString3);

  // Convert using DecimalFormat
  double numDouble1 = 12345.10;
  DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#");
  String floatAsString4 = decimalFormat.format(numDouble1);
  System.out.println("Convert using DecimalFormat -> " + floatAsString4);

  // Convert using StringBuffer Example
  StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
  stringBuffer.append(f);
  String floatAsString5 = stringBuffer.toString();
  System.out.println("Convert using StringBuffer Example -> " + floatAsString5);

  // Convert using StringBuilder Example
  StringBuilder sbBuilder = new StringBuilder();
  sbBuilder.append(f);
  String floatAsString6 = sbBuilder.toString();
  System.out.println("Convert using StringBuilder Example  -> " + floatAsString6);
 }
}

Output:

Convert using Float.toString(int) -> 100.25
Convert using String.valueOf(int) -> 100.25
Convert using new Long(int).toString() -> 100.25
Convert using String.format() -> 100.250000
Convert using DecimalFormat -> 12345
Convert using StringBuffer Example -> 100.25
Convert using StringBuilder Example  -> 100.25
