    Description

      The valueOf methods in Float and Double convert (essentially) strings of floating-point literals into floating-point values. The set of accepted strings does *not* include simple integer strings like "45". However, in clear violation of the specification, the current implementation accepts such strings instead of throwing a NumberFormatException.
