186 chars: void f(float a,float b){for(float i=1,d;;i*=2){for(d=0;d<i*Math.max(Math.abs(b),Math.abs(a));d++){for(float x:new float[]{d/i,-d/i}){if(x<b&&x>a){System.out.print(x);System.exit(0);}}}}}. Avoiding importing saves it, and you would have needed the static imports. The stuff in the java.lang package are automatically "imported"

Here's what I say: You can have a "floating" import statement separate from the function, but the chars in the import statement count, including a char for newline. So this is 189 chars. | |

This doesn't work for large values either. E.g. if I call f((float)1e30, (float)1e31) it appears to go into an infinite loop. Or was I just not patient enough?
