I need a clear explanation with Basic example and program output in C# about parse

That is, i came to know parse by viewing the code

Usually, when you are parsing data, you are taking it in one form and trying to understand it in another form. In this case, the data is arriving as a string (TextBox.Text) and you need it as a number, specifically a float.

A float, in C#, is a System.Single. If you look up Single.Parse in the documentation, you will see that it "Converts the string representation of a number to its single-precision floating-point number equivalent".
