## Parameters

### arr

Array of values to convert. Default is the piped-forward array (`<-`).

## Examples

* [Convert an array of integers to floats](#convert-an-array-of-integers-to-floats)
* [Convert an array of strings to floats](#convert-an-array-of-strings-to-floats)

### Convert an array of integers to floats

```
import "experimental/array"

arr = [12, 24, 36, 48]

array.toFloat(arr: arr)// Returns [12.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0]

```

### Convert an array of strings to floats

```
import "experimental/array"

arr = ["12", "1.23e+4", "NaN", "24.2"]

array.toFloat(arr: arr)// Returns [12.0, 1.2300, NaN, 24.2]
