* The number is really read as n * 10exponent. The

* ("e" is also acceptable), then the integer after that is
* the exponent.
*
* Here are the possible forms the number can take:
*
*
| Form | Examples |
|---|---|
[+-]<number>[.] | 345., -10, 12 |
[+-]<number>.<number> | 40.2, 80.00, -12.30 |
[+-]<number>[.]E[+-]<number> | 80E12, -12e+7, 4.E-123 |
[+-]<number>.<number>E[+-]<number> | 6.02e-22, -40.2E+6, 12.3e9 |
[+-]" means either a plus or minus sign may go there, or
* neither, in which case + is assumed.
* [.]" means a dot may be placed here, but is optional.
* <number>" means a string of digits (0-9), basically
* an integer. "<number>.<number>" is basically
* a real number, a floating-point value.
*
* Remember that a float has a limited range. If the
* number you specify is greater than Float.MAX_VALUE or less
* than -Float.MAX_VALUE, it will be set at
* Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY or
* Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, respectively.
*
*
* Note also that float does not have perfect precision. Many
* numbers cannot be precisely represented. The number you specify
* will be rounded to the nearest representable value.
* Float.MIN_VALUE is the margin of error for float
* values.
*
* If an unexpected character is found in the String, a
* NumberFormatException will be thrown. Spaces are not
* allowed and will cause this exception to be thrown.
*
* @XXX specify where/how we are not in accord with the spec.
*
