Java Programming

Hi, I read the contents of a file into a byte array and am now trying to convert it into a float array.

here is the code I am using

public static float [] bytetofloat(byte [] convert){

    float [] data = new float [convert.length/2];
    for(int i = 0;i<convert.length;i+=2){
        for(int j = 0; j <data.length;j++){



        short valueAsShort = (short)( (convert[i] << 8)  | (convert[i+1] & 0xff));
        float valueAsFloat = (float)valueAsShort;
        System.out.println(valueAsFloat);
        valueAsFloat = data[j];
        System.out.println(data[j]);
         }
    }

can anyone see anythign wrong with the way I am doing this? I cant see anythign wrong but need to make sure its fine before I can continue.

any advice on this or a better way to do it would be much appreciated.
