I need to put a String in sePrice(float price) setter, but then I get this error: Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Float cannot be cast to class java.lang.String (java.lang.Float and java.lang.String are in module java.

public class Product {
private SimpleStringProperty name;
private SimpleFloatProperty price;

//I need to to a String here from another method and then convert it to a float.

public void setPrice(float price) {
this.price.set(price);
}
}

I need to use SimpleFloatProperty because I use TableVIew.

	System.out.println("Starting");
	String startnum = "25+422.159";
	System.out.println("startnum = " + startnum);
	String formatnum = startnum.replace("+", "");
	System.out.println("formatnum = " + formatnum);
	float floatnum = Float.parseFloat(formatnum);
	System.out.println("floatnum = " + floatnum);
	System.out.println("Ending");    

Gives me the following output

Starting
startnum = 25+422.159
formatnum = 25422.159
floatnum = 25422.158
Ending

So for some reason, the float value gets rounded down. And for some reason, when I passed this value to another method to put into a database, the value was 25422.158203125

So how do I stop this weird ness
