- ## Method Details

  - ### value

    float value()
    Returns this FloatValue as a float.
    Returns:
      the `float` mirrored by this object.

  - ### equals

    boolean equals(Object obj)
    Compares the specified Object with this FloatValue for equality.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `Object`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the reference object with which to compare.
    Returns:
      true if the Object is a FloatValue and if applying "==" to the two mirrored primitives would evaluate to true; false otherwise.
    See Also:
      - `Object.hashCode()`
      - `HashMap`

  - ### hashCode

    int hashCode()
    Returns the hash code value for this FloatValue.
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      the integer hash code
    See Also:
      - `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`
      - `System.identityHashCode(Object)`
