How to Convert a Double to Float in Java Without Losing the Precision
Double and Float variables in Java are numeric variables that hold decimal point precision. Double variables hold a set number of decimal points, while Float variables can dynamically change how many decimal points they show based on the number of decimal points needed. Use a casting function to change a Double variable to a Float variable without losing any precision.
Instructions

-
1
Open the Java file.
-
2
Note the name of the Double variable. For example, the name can be "$doubleVar."
-
-
3
Go to a new, blank line.
-
4
Type "new Float $floatVar = cast.Float($doubleVar);" onto the new line. This creates a new variable called "$floatVar" that is equal to the value of the "$doubleVar" variable, but in Float form instead of Double form.
