800      *
801      * <p>If the argument is {@code 0xff800000}, the result is negative

804      * <p>If the argument is any value in the range
805      * {@code 0x7f800001} through {@code 0x7fffffff} or in
806      * the range {@code 0xff800001} through
807      * {@code 0xffffffff}, the result is a NaN.  No IEEE 754
808      * floating-point operation provided by Java can distinguish
809      * between two NaN values of the same type with different bit
810      * patterns.  Distinct values of NaN are only distinguishable by
811      * use of the {@code Float.floatToRawIntBits} method.
812      *
813      * <p>In all other cases, let <i>s</i>, <i>e</i>, and <i>m</i> be three
814      * values that can be computed from the argument:
815      *
816      * <blockquote><pre>{@code
817      * int s = ((bits >> 31) == 0) ? 1 : -1;
818      * int e = ((bits >> 23) & 0xff);
819      * int m = (e == 0) ?
820      *                 (bits & 0x7fffff) << 1 :
821      *                 (bits & 0x7fffff) | 0x800000;
822      * }</pre></blockquote>
823      *
824      * Then the floating-point result equals the value of the mathematical
825      * expression <i>s</i>&middot;<i>m</i>&middot;2<sup><i>e</i>-150</sup>.
826      *
827      * <p>Note that this method may not be able to return a
828      * {@code float} NaN with exactly same bit pattern as the
829      * {@code int} argument.  IEEE 754 distinguishes between two
830      * kinds of NaNs, quiet NaNs and <i>signaling NaNs</i>.  The
831      * differences between the two kinds of NaN are generally not
832      * visible in Java.  Arithmetic operations on signaling NaNs turn
833      * them into quiet NaNs with a different, but often similar, bit
834      * pattern.  However, on some processors merely copying a
835      * signaling NaN also performs that conversion.  In particular,
836      * copying a signaling NaN to return it to the calling method may
837      * perform this conversion.  So {@code intBitsToFloat} may
838      * not be able to return a {@code float} with a signaling NaN
839      * bit pattern.  Consequently, for some {@code int} values,
840      * {@code floatToRawIntBits(intBitsToFloat(start))} may
841      * <i>not</i> equal {@code start}.  Moreover, which
842      * particular bit patterns represent signaling NaNs is platform
843      * dependent; although all NaN bit patterns, quiet or signaling,
844      * must be in the NaN range identified above.
845      *
846      * @param   bits   an integer.
847      * @return  the {@code float} floating-point value with the same bit
848      *          pattern.
