Answer 1

        float val = float.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.WriteLine(val);

OR

        float val2;
        if (!float.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out val2))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Not a valid float");
        }
        else {
            Console.WriteLine(val2);
        }
