Conversion from byte array to float.

[madhusudhan]

Hi All,
I have a byte array of size 4 whuch should be converted to its float value.
I am able to this kind of conversion (byte array) to integer primitive but

its difficult to apply the samme..
Thanx in adv,
madhu

A better solution to this problem would be to create a float value in the
first place instead of creating a byte array and then trying to convert it.
However, here's an answer to your question:

DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new
ByteArrayInputStream(yourByteArray));
float f = dis.readFloat();

But as I said, it would be better to use a DataInputStream and readFloat()
to create the value in the first place. And the same is true for integers.
