207 * <ul>
208 * <li> <em>Selection of a decimal</em>:

210 * is selected to represent <i>m</i>.
211 * This decimal is (almost always) the <em>shortest</em> one that
212 * rounds to <i>m</i> according to the round to nearest
213 * rounding policy of IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic.
214 * <li> <em>Formatting as a string</em>:
215 * The decimal <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as a string,
216 * either in plain or in computerized scientific notation,
217 * depending on its value.
218 * </ul>
219 * </ul>
220 * </ul>
221 *
222 * <p>A <em>decimal</em> is a number of the form
223 * <i>s</i>×10<sup><i>i</i></sup>
224 * for some (unique) integers <i>s</i> > 0 and <i>i</i> such that
225 * <i>s</i> is not a multiple of 10.
226 * These integers are the <em>significand</em> and
227 * the <em>exponent</em>, respectively, of the decimal.
228 * The <em>length</em> of the decimal is the (unique)
229 * positive integer <i>n</i> meeting
230 * 10<sup><i>n</i>-1</sup> ≤ <i>s</i> < 10<sup><i>n</i></sup>.
231 *
232 * <p>The decimal <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> for a finite positive <i>m</i>
233 * is defined as follows:
234 * <ul>
235 * <li>Let <i>R</i> be the set of all decimals that round to <i>m</i>
236 * according to the usual <em>round to nearest</em> rounding policy of
237 * IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic.
238 * <li>Let <i>p</i> be the minimal length over all decimals in <i>R</i>.
239 * <li>When <i>p</i> ≥ 2, let <i>T</i> be the set of all decimals
240 * in <i>R</i> with length <i>p</i>.
241 * Otherwise, let <i>T</i> be the set of all decimals
242 * in <i>R</i> with length 1 or 2.
243 * <li>Define <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> as the decimal in <i>T</i>
244 * that is closest to <i>m</i>.
245 * Or if there are two such decimals in <i>T</i>,
246 * select the one with the even significand.
247 * </ul>
248 *
249 * <p>The (uniquely) selected decimal <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub>
250 * is then formatted.
251 * Let <i>s</i>, <i>i</i> and <i>n</i> be the significand, exponent and
252 * length of <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub>, respectively.
253 * Further, let <i>e</i> = <i>n</i> + <i>i</i> - 1 and let
254 * <i>s</i><sub>1</sub>…<i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub>
255 * be the usual decimal expansion of <i>s</i>.
256 * Note that <i>s</i><sub>1</sub> ≠ 0
257 * and <i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub> ≠ 0.
258 * Below, the decimal point {@code '.'} is {@code '\u005Cu002E'}
259 * and the exponent indicator {@code 'E'} is {@code '\u005Cu0045'}.
260 * <ul>
261 * <li>Case -3 ≤ <i>e</i> < 0:
262 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as
263 * <code>0.0</code>…<code>0</code><!--

265 * where there are exactly -(<i>n</i> + <i>i</i>) zeroes between
266 * the decimal point and <i>s</i><sub>1</sub>.
267 * For example, 123 × 10<sup>-4</sup> is formatted as
268 * {@code 0.0123}.
269 * <li>Case 0 ≤ <i>e</i> < 7:
270 * <ul>
271 * <li>Subcase <i>i</i> ≥ 0:
272 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as
273 * <i>s</i><sub>1</sub>…<i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub><!--
274 * --><code>0</code>…<code>0.0</code>,
275 * where there are exactly <i>i</i> zeroes
276 * between <i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub> and the decimal point.
277 * For example, 123 × 10<sup>2</sup> is formatted as
278 * {@code 12300.0}.
279 * <li>Subcase <i>i</i> < 0:
280 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as
281 * <i>s</i><sub>1</sub>…<!--
282 * --><i>s</i><sub><i>n</i>+<i>i</i></sub><code>.</code><!--
283 * --><i>s</i><sub><i>n</i>+<i>i</i>+1</sub>…<!--
284 * --><i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub>,
285 * where there are exactly -<i>i</i> digits to the right of
286 * the decimal point.
287 * For example, 123 × 10<sup>-1</sup> is formatted as
288 * {@code 12.3}.
289 * </ul>
290 * <li>Case <i>e</i> < -3 or <i>e</i> ≥ 7:
291 * computerized scientific notation is used to format
292 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub>.
293 * Here <i>e</i> is formatted as by {@link Integer#toString(int)}.
294 * <ul>
295 * <li>Subcase <i>n</i> = 1:
296 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as
297 * <i>s</i><sub>1</sub><code>.0E</code><i>e</i>.
298 * For example, 1 × 10<sup>23</sup> is formatted as
299 * {@code 1.0E23}.
300 * <li>Subcase <i>n</i> > 1:
301 * <i>d</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> is formatted as
302 * <i>s</i><sub>1</sub><code>.</code><i>s</i><sub>2</sub><!--
303 * -->…<i>s</i><sub><i>n</i></sub><code>E</code><i>e</i>.
304 * For example, 123 × 10<sup>-21</sup> is formatted as

500 * conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise"
501 * binary value that is then rounded to type {@code float}
502 * by the usual round-to-nearest rule of IEEE 754 floating-point
503 * arithmetic, which includes preserving the sign of a zero
504 * value.
505 *
506 * Note that the round-to-nearest rule also implies overflow and
507 * underflow behaviour; if the exact value of {@code s} is large
508 * enough in magnitude (greater than or equal to ({@link
509 * #MAX_VALUE} + {@link Math#ulp(float) ulp(MAX_VALUE)}/2),
510 * rounding to {@code float} will result in an infinity and if the
511 * exact value of {@code s} is small enough in magnitude (less
512 * than or equal to {@link #MIN_VALUE}/2), rounding to float will
513 * result in a zero.
514 *
515 * Finally, after rounding a {@code Float} object representing
516 * this {@code float} value is returned.
517 *
518 * <p>Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that
519 * determine the type of a floating-point literal
520 * ({@code 1.0f} is a {@code float} value;
521 * {@code 1.0d} is a {@code double} value), do
522 * <em>not</em> influence the results of this method. In other
523 * words, the numerical value of the input string is converted
524 * directly to the target floating-point type. In general, the
525 * two-step sequence of conversions, string to {@code double}
526 * followed by {@code double} to {@code float}, is
527 * <em>not</em> equivalent to converting a string directly to
528 * {@code float}. For example, if first converted to an
529 * intermediate {@code double} and then to
530 * {@code float}, the string<br>
531 * {@code "1.00000017881393421514957253748434595763683319091796875001d"}<br>
532 * results in the {@code float} value
533 * {@code 1.0000002f}; if the string is converted directly to
534 * {@code float}, <code>1.000000<b>1</b>f</code> results.
535 *
536 * <p>To avoid calling this method on an invalid string and having
537 * a {@code NumberFormatException} be thrown, the documentation
538 * for {@link Double#valueOf Double.valueOf} lists a regular
539 * expression which can be used to screen the input.
