    Returns:
    
    a negative value if the value of this float is less than the value of object; 0 if the value of this float and the value of object are equal; a positive value if the value of this float is greater than the value of object.

  - isInfinite
```
public boolean isInfinite()
```
    Indicates whether this object represents an infinite value.

    Indicates whether the specified float represents an infinite value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - the float to check.

public boolean isNaN()
```
    Indicates whether this object is a Not-a-Number (NaN) value.
    
    Returns:

    Parameters:
    
    f - the float value to check.

    true if f is Not-a-Number; false if it is a (potentially infinite) float number.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Tests this double for equality with object. To be equal, object must be an instance of Float and floatToIntBits must give the same value for both objects.
    Note that, unlike ==, -0.0 and +0.0 compare unequal, and NaNs compare equal by this method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the object to compare this float with.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the specified object is equal to this Float; false otherwise.

    Object.hashCode()
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from class: Object
    
    Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.
    Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.
    See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:

    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a printable representation of this object.
