to_float()

Converts the string token to a float. This is a token function for the WHERE clause of a LOAD statement only. It cannot be used in a destination clause.

This function is necessary when you need to filter floating point values during loading, as all tokens are treated as strings.

Syntax

to_float( token )

Return value

FLOAT. The floating point value converted from integers.

Example

If we have the following data in a CSV file of the different scores of test takers, and we want to load a record if their score is higher than 95.5:

name	score
Tommy	94.3
Amy	95.9
Amy	93.1

LOAD f TO VERTEX Person
  VALUES ($"name", $"score")
  WHERE to_float($"score") > 95.5

After loading, only the second row in the provided data is loaded, as it is the only record where the score is greater than 95.
