As an aside, Float (capital "F") is a class which has a method toString() ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Float.html#toString() ) to return a Float object as a String instead of using a coctenation to get the class Node method toString to return the String representation of the float variable.
float, (small "f") on the other hand, is a primitive type w/o such methods.
I hope I'm using these terms (type, object, variable) correctly. |
