Float - string

Question

I have float BMIndex and I would like to display the number in a panel. I think the only way I can do this is to copy float BMIndex to string BMIstring, but I can't figure out how. There doesn't seem to be a parse method in string, and the few things I've triend online don't seem to want to accept a float as an argument.
All I want to do is copy float BMIndex to string BMIstring =(
Please help

Try this:
class A
      static public void main(String arg[])
      float f = 1.2345f;
      double d = 987.654;
      String F,D;
      F = Float.valueOf(f).toString();
      D = Double.valueOf(d).toString();
      System.out.println("Printed as strings:");
      System.out.println(F);
      System.out.println(D);
      System.out.println("Printed as float and double:");
      System.out.println(f);
      System.out.println(d);
}The primitive type float is no class and has no toString method. Float(f).valueOf converts the float f to an object of type Float. Call the method toString in this object instead. As you can see it is possible
to print floats directly as well.
