## org.omg.CORBA
Class FloatHolder

    java.lang.Object
      org.omg.CORBA.FloatHolder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Streamable

public final class FloatHolder
extends Object
implements Streamable

The Holder for `Float`. For more information on Holder files, see "Generated Files: Holder Files".

A Holder class for a `float` that is used to store "out" and "inout" parameters in IDL methods. If an IDL method signature has an IDL `float` as an "out" or "inout" parameter, the programmer must pass an instance of `FloatHolder` as the corresponding parameter in the method invocation; for "inout" parameters, the programmer must also fill the "in" value to be sent to the server. Before the method invocation returns, the ORB will fill in the value corresponding to the "out" value returned from the server.

If `myFloatHolder` is an instance of `FloatHolder`, the value stored in its `value` field can be accessed with `myFloatHolder.value`.

Since:
  JDK1.2

Field Summary
`float` | `value` The `float` value held by this `FloatHolder` object.

Constructor Summary
`FloatHolder()` Constructs a new `FloatHolder` object with its `value` field initialized to 0.0.
`FloatHolder(float initial)` Constructs a new `FloatHolder` object for the given `float`.

Method Summary
`void` | `_read(InputStream input)` Read a float from an input stream and initialize the value member with the float value.
`TypeCode` | `_type()` Return the `TypeCode` of this Streamable.
`void` | `_write(OutputStream output)` Write the float value into an output stream.
