	* ({@code 1.0f} is a {@code float} value;
	* {@code 1.0d} is a {@code double} value), do
	* <em>not</em> influence the results of this method.  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
	* <em>not</em> equivalent to converting a string directly to
