Making a integer to a Float

Question

I'm trying to convert an Integer to a Float since I need to use some math and need the decimals offered by floats.

public static Float currAccu() {
float accuMiss, accuHit, accuCrit;

accuMiss = Float.parseFloat(publicInt.returnMissCount());
accuHit = Float.parseFloat(publicInt.returnHitCount());
accuCrit = Float.parseFloat(publicInt.returnMissCount());

return 0;

The code is incomplete and I'm pretty new at Java. I've used to the Float.parseFloat to convert string to float before. The return will be different, but until I get the conversion working I will continue to fix it.

Question: Do you want a `float` or a `Float`? And is your "integer" in String form or is it an `int`? — Hot Licks, Dec 04 '14 at 17:25
I did actually look at that post, didn't quite understand it though. — PXS, Dec 04 '14 at 17:58

CASTING IS THE SOLUTION

 int b;
 float n = (float) b ;

in your case

float  accuMiss = (float)(publicInt.returnMissCount());
