     * by the usual round-to-nearest rule of IEEE 754 floating-point
     * arithmetic, which includes preserving the sign of a zero
     * value.
     *
     * Note that the round-to-nearest rule also implies overflow and
     * underflow behaviour; if the exact value of {@code s} is large
     * enough in magnitude (greater than or equal to ({@link
     * #MAX_VALUE} + {@link Math#ulp(double) ulp(MAX_VALUE)}/2),
     * rounding to {@code double} will result in an infinity and if the

     * result in a zero.

     * Finally, after rounding a {@code Double} object representing
     * this {@code double} value is returned.
     *
     * <p> To interpret localized string representations of a
     * floating-point value, use subclasses of {@link
     * java.text.NumberFormat}.
     *
     * <p>Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that

     * ({@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.  The two-step
     * sequence of conversions, string to {@code float} followed
     * by {@code float} to {@code double}, is <em>not</em>
     * equivalent to converting a string directly to
     * {@code double}. For example, the {@code float}
     * literal {@code 0.1f} is equal to the {@code double}
     * value {@code 0.10000000149011612}; the {@code float}
     * literal {@code 0.1f} represents a different numerical
     * value than the {@code double} literal
     * {@code 0.1}. (The numerical value 0.1 cannot be exactly
     * represented in a binary floating-point number.)
     *
     * <p>To avoid calling this method on an invalid string and having
     * a {@code NumberFormatException} be thrown, the regular
