Duncan Jones updated LANG-1018:
-------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: This issue is caused by the inherent inaccuracies in {{float}} representation. Consider that the following test fails, then you'll see why your patch hasn't solved the problem:

{code:java}
final String example = "-160952.54";
assertEquals(example, Float.valueOf(example).toString());

// org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<-160952.5[4]> but was:<-160952.5[5]>
{code}

If you can find a case where your patch definitely improves the situation, please add a comment. Otherwise, I'm inclined not to apply this.)

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: lang.math.*
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
>         Environment: windows 7
>            Reporter: sydng
>             Fix For: Review Patch

>
> With commons-lang 3.2.2:
> NumberUtils.createNumber("-160952.54");
> The result is "-160952.55".
> Should not be based on the length of the decimal point number to judge whether the floating point number.
> Using the method (createFloat(str)) of dealing with the valid number greater than seven Numbers will cause accuracy loss.
> The source code is as follows:
> {code:java}
> try {
>             if(numDecimals <= 7){// If number has 7 or fewer digits past the decimal point then make it a float
>                 final Float f = createFloat(str);
>                 if (!(f.isInfinite() || (f.floatValue() == 0.0F && !allZeros))) {
>                     return f;
>                 }
>             }
>         } catch (final NumberFormatException nfe) { // NOPMD
>             // ignore the bad number
>         }
>         try {
>             if(numDecimals <= 16){// If number has between 8 and 16 digits past the decimal point then make it a double
>                 final Double d = createDouble(str);
>                 if (!(d.isInfinite() || (d.doubleValue() == 0.0D && !allZeros))) {
>                     return d;
>                 }
>             }
>         } catch (final NumberFormatException nfe) { // NOPMD
>             // ignore the bad number
>         }
>         return createBigDecimal(str);
