Hi Khoo!
If your trying to convert a 'String' value to 'float', then why not just use
the wrapper class.
For example:
String strNumber = "10.25";
float floatNumber = 0.0;
floatNumber = Float.parseFloat(strNumber);
'floatNumber' would now contain the float value of 10.25. to which you can
do any arithmetic with.
Hope this helps you out.
Regards
David Gowe
