how to pass a variable through sendKeys in selenium webdriver?

I want to pass the float variable 'f' through sendKeys in the below program.Can someone please let me know the same? As of now, it is throwing

"The method sendKeys(CharSequence...) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments ".

Code:

public static String isEditable(String s1) {
    f=Float.parseFloat(s1);
    System.out.println(f);

    boolean bool=webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("expression")).isEnabled();
    if(bool) {
        if((f<0) || (f>6)) {
            error="Value must be between 0.00% and 6.00%";
            System.out.println(error);
        } else {
            webDriver.findElement(By.xpath(""expression")).sendKeys(f);
        }
    } else {
        error="Please enter a valid Number";
    }
    return error;
}
Solution

  • Convert the float to a string:

    webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("...")).sendKeys(Float.toString(f));
