Question

How do I convert the float value of 12345.12346f to a String of binary values, i.e. \"0011010101010101\", and vice-versa?

Answer 1

Working sample:

class F { 
  public static void main( String ... args ) { 
    System.out.println(
          Integer.toBinaryString( 
             Float.floatToIntBits(12345.12346f)
          ) 
     );
  }
}

Output:

1000110010000001110010001111110
