Java Float compare example
This example shows how to compare a Float object with other Float object, Float
with an Object, or two float primitive values using methods provided by
java.lang.Float class.

To compare two float primitive values use
compare(float f1, float f2) method of Float class. This is a static method.
It returns 0 if both the values are equal, returns value less than 0 if
f1 is less than f2, and returns value grater than 0 if f2 is grater than f2.

To compare a Float object with another Float object use
