/**
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> is a concrete subclass of
 * <code>NumberFormat</code> that formats decimal numbers. It has a variety of
 * features designed to make it possible to parse and format numbers in any
 * locale, including support for Western, Arabic, and Indic digits.  It also
 * supports different kinds of numbers, including integers (123), fixed-point
 * numbers (123.4), scientific notation (1.23E4), percentages (12%), and
 * currency amounts ($123).  All of these can be localized.
 *
 * <p>To obtain a <code>NumberFormat</code> for a specific locale, including the
 * default locale, call one of <code>NumberFormat</code>'s factory methods, such
 * as <code>getInstance()</code>.  In general, do not call the
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> constructors directly, since the
 * <code>NumberFormat</code> factory methods may return subclasses other than
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code>. If you need to customize the format object, do
 * something like this:
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getInstance(loc);
 * if (f instanceof DecimalFormat) {
 *     ((DecimalFormat) f).setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
 * }
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>A <code>DecimalFormat</code> comprises a <em>pattern</em> and a set of
 * <em>symbols</em>.  The pattern may be set directly using
 * <code>applyPattern()</code>, or indirectly using the API methods.  The
 * symbols are stored in a <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object.  When using
 * the <code>NumberFormat</code> factory methods, the pattern and symbols are
 * read from localized <code>ResourceBundle</code>s.
 *
 * <h3>Patterns</h3>
 *
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> patterns have the following syntax:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * <i>Pattern:</i>
 *         <i>PositivePattern</i>
 *         <i>PositivePattern</i> ; <i>NegativePattern</i>
 * <i>PositivePattern:</i>
 *         <i>Prefix<sub>opt</sub></i> <i>Number</i> <i>Suffix<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>NegativePattern:</i>
 *         <i>Prefix<sub>opt</sub></i> <i>Number</i> <i>Suffix<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>Prefix:</i>
 *         any Unicode characters except &#92;uFFFE, &#92;uFFFF, and special characters
 * <i>Suffix:</i>
 *         any Unicode characters except &#92;uFFFE, &#92;uFFFF, and special characters
 * <i>Number:</i>
 *         <i>Integer</i> <i>Exponent<sub>opt</sub></i>
 *         <i>Integer</i> . <i>Fraction</i> <i>Exponent<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>Integer:</i>
 *         <i>MinimumInteger</i>
 *         #
 *         # <i>Integer</i>
 *         # , <i>Integer</i>
 * <i>MinimumInteger:</i>
 *         0
 *         0 <i>MinimumInteger</i>
 *         0 , <i>MinimumInteger</i>
 * <i>Fraction:</i>
 *         <i>MinimumFraction<sub>opt</sub></i> <i>OptionalFraction<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>MinimumFraction:</i>
 *         0 <i>MinimumFraction<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>OptionalFraction:</i>
 *         # <i>OptionalFraction<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * <i>Exponent:</i>
 *         E <i>MinimumExponent</i>
 * <i>MinimumExponent:</i>
 *         0 <i>MinimumExponent<sub>opt</sub></i>
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>A <code>DecimalFormat</code> pattern contains a positive and negative
 * subpattern, for example, <code>"#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)"</code>.  Each
 * subpattern has a prefix, numeric part, and suffix. The negative subpattern
 * is optional; if absent, then the positive subpattern prefixed with the
 * localized minus sign (<code>'-'</code> in most locales) is used as the
 * negative subpattern. That is, <code>"0.00"</code> alone is equivalent to
 * <code>"0.00;-0.00"</code>.  If there is an explicit negative subpattern, it
 * serves only to specify the negative prefix and suffix; the number of digits,
 * minimal digits, and other characteristics are all the same as the positive
 * pattern. That means that <code>"#,##0.0#;(#)"</code> produces precisely
 * the same behavior as <code>"#,##0.0#;(#,##0.0#)"</code>.
 *
 * <p>The prefixes, suffixes, and various symbols used for infinity, digits,
 * thousands separators, decimal separators, etc. may be set to arbitrary
 * values, and they will appear properly during formatting.  However, care must
 * be taken that the symbols and strings do not conflict, or parsing will be
 * unreliable.  For example, either the positive and negative prefixes or the
 * suffixes must be distinct for <code>DecimalFormat.parse()</code> to be able
 * to distinguish positive from negative values.  (If they are identical, then
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> will behave as if no negative subpattern was
 * specified.)  Another example is that the decimal separator and thousands
 * separator should be distinct characters, or parsing will be impossible.
 *
 * <p>The grouping separator is commonly used for thousands, but in some
 * countries it separates ten-thousands. The grouping size is a constant number
 * of digits between the grouping characters, such as 3 for 100,000,000 or 4 for
 * 1,0000,0000.  If you supply a pattern with multiple grouping characters, the
 * interval between the last one and the end of the integer is the one that is
 * used. So <code>"#,##,###,####"</code> == <code>"######,####"</code> ==
 * <code>"##,####,####"</code>.
 *
 * <h4>Special Pattern Characters</h4>
 *
 * <p>Many characters in a pattern are taken literally; they are matched during
 * parsing and output unchanged during formatting.  Special characters, on the
 * other hand, stand for other characters, strings, or classes of characters.
 * They must be quoted, unless noted otherwise, if they are to appear in the
 * prefix or suffix as literals.
 *
 * <p>The characters listed here are used in non-localized patterns.  Localized
 * patterns use the corresponding characters taken from this formatter's
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object instead, and these characters lose
 * their special status.  Two exceptions are the currency sign and quote, which
 * are not localized.

 *              itself, use two in a row: <code>"# o''clock"</code>.
 * </table>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <h4>Scientific Notation</h4>
 *
 * <p>Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa
 * and a power of ten, for example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3.  The
 * mantissa is often in the range 1.0 &le; x {@literal <} 10.0, but it need not
 * be.
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> can be instructed to format and parse scientific
 * notation <em>only via a pattern</em>; there is currently no factory method
 * that creates a scientific notation format.  In a pattern, the exponent
 * character immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates
 * scientific notation.  Example: <code>"0.###E0"</code> formats the number
 * 1234 as <code>"1.234E3"</code>.
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>The number of digit characters after the exponent character gives the
 * minimum exponent digit count.  There is no maximum.  Negative exponents are
 * formatted using the localized minus sign, <em>not</em> the prefix and suffix
 * from the pattern.  This allows patterns such as <code>"0.###E0 m/s"</code>.
 *
 * <li>The minimum and maximum number of integer digits are interpreted
 * together:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>If the maximum number of integer digits is greater than their minimum number
 * and greater than 1, it forces the exponent to be a multiple of the maximum
 * number of integer digits, and the minimum number of integer digits to be
 * interpreted as 1.  The most common use of this is to generate
 * <em>engineering notation</em>, in which the exponent is a multiple of three,
 * e.g., <code>"##0.#####E0"</code>. Using this pattern, the number 12345
 * formats to <code>"12.345E3"</code>, and 123456 formats to
 * <code>"123.456E3"</code>.
 *
 * <li>Otherwise, the minimum number of integer digits is achieved by adjusting the
 * exponent.  Example: 0.00123 formatted with <code>"00.###E0"</code> yields
 * <code>"12.3E-4"</code>.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <li>The number of significant digits in the mantissa is the sum of the
 * <em>minimum integer</em> and <em>maximum fraction</em> digits, and is
 * unaffected by the maximum integer digits.  For example, 12345 formatted with
 * <code>"##0.##E0"</code> is <code>"12.3E3"</code>. To show all digits, set
 * the significant digits count to zero.  The number of significant digits
 * does not affect parsing.
 *
 * <li>Exponential patterns may not contain grouping separators.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4>Rounding</h4>
 *
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> provides rounding modes defined in
 * {@link java.math.RoundingMode} for formatting.  By default, it uses
 * {@link java.math.RoundingMode#HALF_EVEN RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN}.
 *
 * <h4>Digits</h4>
 *
 * For formatting, <code>DecimalFormat</code> uses the ten consecutive
 * characters starting with the localized zero digit defined in the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object as digits. For parsing, these
 * digits as well as all Unicode decimal digits, as defined by
 * {@link Character#digit Character.digit}, are recognized.
 *
 * <h4>Special Values</h4>
 *
 * <p><code>NaN</code> is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
 * <code>&#92;uFFFD</code>.  This string is determined by the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object.  This is the only value for which
 * the prefixes and suffixes are not used.
 *
 * <p>Infinity is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
 * <code>&#92;u221E</code>, with the positive or negative prefixes and suffixes
 * applied.  The infinity string is determined by the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object.
 *
 * <p>Negative zero (<code>"-0"</code>) parses to
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>BigDecimal(0)</code> if <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code> is
 * true,
 * <li><code>Long(0)</code> if <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code> is false
 *     and <code>isParseIntegerOnly()</code> is true,
 * <li><code>Double(-0.0)</code> if both <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code>
 * and <code>isParseIntegerOnly()</code> are false.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Decimal formats are generally not synchronized.
 * It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
 * If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
 * externally.
 *
 * <h4>Example</h4>
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>{@code
 * <strong>// Print out a number using the localized number, integer, currency,
 * // and percent format for each locale</strong>
 * Locale[] locales = NumberFormat.getAvailableLocales();
 * double myNumber = -1234.56;
 * NumberFormat form;
 * for (int j = 0; j < 4; ++j) {
 *     System.out.println("FORMAT");
 *     for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; ++i) {
 *         if (locales[i].getCountry().length() == 0) {
 *            continue; // Skip language-only locales
 *         }
 *         System.out.print(locales[i].getDisplayName());
 *         switch (j) {
 *         case 0:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         case 1:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         case 2:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         default:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         }
 *         if (form instanceof DecimalFormat) {
 *             System.out.print(": " + ((DecimalFormat) form).toPattern());
 *         }
 *         System.out.print(" -> " + form.format(myNumber));
 *         try {
 *             System.out.println(" -> " + form.parse(form.format(myNumber)));

    // ==== Begin fast-path formating logic for double =========================

    /* Fast-path formatting will be used for format(double ...) methods iff a
     * number of conditions are met (see checkAndSetFastPathStatus()):
     * - Only if instance properties meet the right predefined conditions.
     * - The abs value of the double to format is <= Integer.MAX_VALUE.
     *
     * The basic approach is to split the binary to decimal conversion of a
     * double value into two phases:
     * * The conversion of the integer portion of the double.
     * * The conversion of the fractional portion of the double
     *   (limited to two or three digits).
     *
     * The isolation and conversion of the integer portion of the double is
     * straightforward. The conversion of the fraction is more subtle and relies
     * on some rounding properties of double to the decimal precisions in
     * question.  Using the terminology of BigDecimal, this fast-path algorithm
     * is applied when a double value has a magnitude less than Integer.MAX_VALUE
     * and rounding is to nearest even and the destination format has two or
     * three digits of *scale* (digits after the decimal point).
     *
     * Under a rounding to nearest even policy, the returned result is a digit
     * string of a number in the (in this case decimal) destination format
     * closest to the exact numerical value of the (in this case binary) input
     * value.  If two destination format numbers are equally distant, the one
     * with the last digit even is returned.  To compute such a correctly rounded
     * value, some information about digits beyond the smallest returned digit
     * position needs to be consulted.
     *
     * In general, a guard digit, a round digit, and a sticky *bit* are needed
     * beyond the returned digit position.  If the discarded portion of the input
     * is sufficiently large, the returned digit string is incremented.  In round
     * to nearest even, this threshold to increment occurs near the half-way
     * point between digits.  The sticky bit records if there are any remaining
     * trailing digits of the exact input value in the new format; the sticky bit
     * is consulted only in close to half-way rounding cases.
     *
     * Given the computation of the digit and bit values, rounding is then
     * reduced to a table lookup problem.  For decimal, the even/odd cases look
     * like this:
     *
     * Last   Round   Sticky
     * 6      5       0      => 6   // exactly halfway, return even digit.
     * 6      5       1      => 7   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * 7      5       0      => 8   // exactly halfway, round up to even.
     * 7      5       1      => 8   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * With analogous entries for other even and odd last-returned digits.
     *
     * However, decimal negative powers of 5 smaller than 0.5 are *not* exactly
     * representable as binary fraction.  In particular, 0.005 (the round limit
     * for a two-digit scale) and 0.0005 (the round limit for a three-digit
     * scale) are not representable. Therefore, for input values near these cases
     * the sticky bit is known to be set which reduces the rounding logic to:
     *
     * Last   Round   Sticky
     * 6      5       1      => 7   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * 7      5       1      => 8   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     *
     * In other words, if the round digit is 5, the sticky bit is known to be
     * set.  If the round digit is something other than 5, the sticky bit is not
     * relevant.  Therefore, some of the logic about whether or not to increment
     * the destination *decimal* value can occur based on tests of *binary*
     * computations of the binary input number.
