Float class has following methods which can be used to convert float to int bits and vice-versa.
public static int floatToIntBits(float value)
public static float intBitsToFloat(int bits)
package com.logicbig.example;
public class FloatToIntBitsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = Float.floatToIntBits(1.5f);
System.out.println(i);
float f = Float.intBitsToFloat(i);
System.out.println(f);
}
}

Double class has the similar methods:
public static long doubleToLongBits(double value)
public static double longBitsToDouble(long bits)
package com.logicbig.example;
public class DoubleToLongBitsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long l = Double.doubleToLongBits(1.5d);
System.out.println(l);
double d = Double.longBitsToDouble(l);
System.out.println(d);
}
}
