float(forKey:)

Returns the floating-point value associated with the specified key.

Declaration

func float(forKey defaultName: String) -> Float

Parameters

  • defaultName:

    The key to retrieve from the defaults database.

Return Value

The floating-point value associated with defaultName, or 0.0 if the key isn’t present in the defaults database.

Discussion

This method automatically coerces certain types to their equivalent integer values. The Boolean value true becomes 1.0 and false becomes 0.0. An integer becomes the equivalent floating-point number –– for example, 2 becomes 2.0. A string that contains a numerical value contains the equivalent floating-point value — for example, “123.4” becomes 123.4.
