	* If {@code s} does not have the form of

	* representing an exact decimal value in the usual

	* hexadecimal value; this exact numerical value is then
	* conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise"
	* binary value that is then rounded to type {@code double}
	* 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
	* exact value of {@code s} is small enough in magnitude (less
	* than or equal to {@link #MIN_VALUE}/2), rounding to float will
	* 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
	* determine the type of a floating-point literal
	* ({@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
	* expression below can be used to screen the input string:

	* <pre>{@code
