As you can see i cannot conver to float.... Why ..? What i must do?

I might very well be wrong, but I don't think you have to cast that. I think when you multiply a float times an integer you get a float result.

just a thought.

Float (with a capital 'F') is a wrapper object for floats (a class). float is a primitive type. They are not the same, and you can't just interchange them. From a quick glance at your program, I see that you don't really need to use the wrapper object, so you should change all the "Float"'s in your program to "float"'s.
