    • If m is zero, it is represented by the characters * {@code "0.0"}; thus, negative zero produces the result * {@code "-0.0"} and positive zero produces the result * {@code "0.0"}. *

    • If m is a {@code float} value with a * normalized representation, substrings are used to represent the * significand and exponent fields.

In other * words, the numerical value of the input string is converted * directly to the target floating-point type. In general, the * two-step sequence of conversions, string to {@code double} * followed by {@code double} to {@code float}, is * not equivalent to converting a string directly to * {@code float}.
