long to float
| l2f |
Stack
..., value.word1, value.word2
..., result
Description
The value on the top of the operand stack must be of type long. It is popped from the operand stack and converted to a float result using IEEE 754 round-to-nearest mode. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.
Notes
The l2f instruction performs a widening primitive conversion (§2.6.2) that may lose precision because type float has only 24 mantissa bits.
