When dealing with floating-point numbers, at times it is helpful and necessary to manipulate the sign, significand, and exponent fields.This is eased by having bit masks and other related constants to isolate the fields.
Such constants are available in the JDK-internal FloatConsts and DoubleConsts classes, but are not part of the public API. Code review ofJDK-8149896 included a request to add such a public API (http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-February/038886.html).
