Kotlin Float Range

Float Range in Kotlin

You can define a floating point range in Kotlin using .. operator just like an integer range.

The syntax to define a floating point range [x, y] is

x..y

For example, 1.4..3.7 is a floating point range that starts at 1.4 and ends at 3.7.

Theoretically, there are indefinite number of elements in a floating point range. Therefore, we cannot iterate over a float range. But we can do operations like checking if a specific float value is in this range, compare a float range with another, or check if the float range is empty.

fun main() {
    val myRange = 1.54..6.24
    val pi = 3.14159

    if ( myRange.contains(pi) ) {
        println("$pi is present in $myRange")
    } else {
        println("$pi is not present in $myRange")
    }
}

3.14159 is present in 1.54..6.24
