What are you trying to do? To print the float,
System.out.println(theExp) will do. The toString method is a non-
static method (which takes no arguments) that you call on objects...
You've called it it statically on the Math class, passing it a
primitive... Thats why the compiler's complained!

As was already said, just
System.out.println(theExp)
will do.

You might have been thinking of
Float.toString(float)
There is no Math.toString(float).
