Maximum value for Float in Java?

Question

The following question indicates that the minimum value of a Double is -Double.MAX_VALUE. Is this also true for Float (i.e., -Float.MAX_VALUE)?

Answer 1

EDIT: My original answer appears to be badly incorrect. Thank you @aioobe for pointing this out.

Instead, using the magic of java code to answer the title question:

System.out.printf( "Float.MAX_VALUE: %,f\n", Float.MAX_VALUE );

Float.MAX_VALUE: 340,282,346,638,528,860,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.000000

System.out.printf("in scientific notation: %.18g\n", Float.MAX_VALUE );

in scientific notation: 3.40282346638528860e+38

System.out.printf(
            "in hexadecimal floating-point number with a significand and "
            + "an exponent: %a", Float.MAX_VALUE );

in hexadecimal floating-point number with a significand and an exponent: 0x1.fffffep127
