i2f

i2f

Forms
i2f = 134 (0x86)

Stack
..., value ..., result

Description
The value on the top of the operand stack must be of type int. It is popped from the operand stack and converted to the float result using IEEE 754 round-to-nearest mode. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

Notes
The i2f instruction performs a widening primitive conversion (§2.6.2), but may result in a loss of precision because type float has only 24 mantissa bits.
