✐ Examples

1 Converting a set of Float values to a FloatArray

Using toFloatArray() to convert a set of Float values to a FloatArray.

For example,

  1. Create a set of Float values.
  2. Use toFloatArray() to convert the set to a FloatArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val floatSet = setOf(1.1f, 2.2f, 3.3f)
    val floatArray = floatSet.toFloatArray()
    println(floatArray.joinToString())
}

Output

1.1, 2.2, 3.3

2 Handling an empty set of Float values

Using toFloatArray() to handle an empty set of Float values.

For example,

  1. Create an empty set of Float values.
  2. Use toFloatArray() to convert the empty set to a FloatArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val emptySet = emptySet<Float>()
    val floatArray = emptySet.toFloatArray()
    println(floatArray.joinToString())
}

Output


3  Converting a set of mixed Float values to a FloatArray
Using toFloatArray() to convert a set of mixed Float values to a FloatArray.
For example,
  1. Create a set of mixed Float values.
  2. Use toFloatArray() to convert the set to a FloatArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.
Kotlin Program
fun main() {
    val mixedSet = setOf(1.1f, -2.2f, 3.3f, -4.4f)
    val floatArray = mixedSet.toFloatArray()
    println(floatArray.joinToString())
}
Output
1.1, -2.2, 3.3, -4.4
