Definition and Usage

The parseFloat() function parses a string and returns a floating point number.

This function determines if the first character in the specified string is a
number. If it is, it parses the string until it reaches the end of the number, and returns the number as a number, not as a string.

Note: Only the first number in the string is returned!

Note: Leading and trailing spaces are allowed.

Note: If the first character cannot be converted to a number, parseFloat() returns NaN.
