How does the function toFloatList works

Introduction

In this short blog, we will dive into the details of the toFloatList() function in Apache AGE. The toFloatList() function is a powerful feature in Apache AGE that allows users to convert a list of values into a list of floating-point numbers. This function is particularly useful when dealing with datasets that contain numerical values in string format and need to be transformed into a format suitable for numerical computations.

The toFloatList() function handles the conversion process effectively, even when dealing with diverse input values. If all the values in the input list can be successfully converted to floating-point numbers, the returned list will contain the converted values accordingly. However, if any of the input values cannot be converted, the corresponding element in the returned list will be null.

Conclusion

This feature enhances the flexibility and usability of Apache AGE, enabling users to seamlessly process and analyze data with ease. By leveraging the toFloatList() function, users can overcome the challenge of converting diverse data types and efficiently work with numerical values for a wide range of data-driven tasks. Currently, the toFloatList() function has an ongoing Pull Request in Apache AGE, awaiting to be merged.
