- - ### Methods Summary

    Methods
    Return type | Name and parameters
    --- | ---
    `float` | `abs()` Gets the absolute value.
    `boolean` | `asBoolean()` Coerce a Float instance to a boolean value.
    `void` | `downto(Number to, Closure closure)` Iterates from this number down to the given number, inclusive, decrementing by one each time.
    `boolean` | `equalsIgnoreZeroSign(Object other)` Compares this object against the specified object returning the same result as Float#equals(Object) but returning true if this object and the specified object are both zero and negative zero respectively or vice versa.
    `int` | `round()` Round the value
    `float` | `round(int precision)` Round the value
    `float` | `trunc()` Truncate the value
    `float` | `trunc(int precision)` Truncate the value
    `void` | `upto(Number to, Closure closure)` Iterates from this number up to the given number, inclusive, incrementing by one each time.

- - ### Methods Detail

    - #### public float abs()

      Gets the absolute value.

      Returns:
        the absolute value of that Float
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public boolean asBoolean()

      Coerce a Float instance to a boolean value.

      Returns:
        `true` for non-zero and non-NaN values, else `false`
      Since:
        2.6.0

    - #### public void downto(Number to, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this number down to the given number, inclusive, decrementing by one each time.

      Parameters:
        `to` - the end number
        `closure` - the code to execute for each number
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public boolean equalsIgnoreZeroSign(Object other)

      Compares this object against the specified object returning the same result as Float#equals(Object) but returning true if this object and the specified object are both zero and negative zero respectively or vice versa.

      Parameters:
      Since:
        3.0.8

    - #### public int round()

      Round the value

      Returns:
        the rounded value of that Float
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public float round(int precision)

      Round the value

      Parameters:
        `precision` - the number of decimal places to keep
      Returns:
        the Float rounded to the number of decimal places specified by precision
      Since:
        1.6.0

    - #### public float trunc()

      Truncate the value

      Returns:
        the Float truncated to 0 decimal places
      Since:
        1.6.0

    - #### public float trunc(int precision)

      Truncate the value

      Parameters:
        `precision` - the number of decimal places to keep
      Returns:
        the Float truncated to the number of decimal places specified by precision
      Since:
        1.6.0

    - #### public void upto(Number to, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this number up to the given number, inclusive, incrementing by one each time.

      Parameters:
        `to` - the end number
        `closure` - the code to execute for each number
      Since:
        1.0
