Why does java.text.DecimalFormat evaluate the following results:
new DecimalFormat("0.#").format(23.0) // result: "23"
new DecimalFormat(".#").format(23.0) // result: "23.0"
I would have expected the result to be 23 in both cases, because special character # omits zeros. How does the leading special character 0 affect the fraction part? (Tried to match/understand it with the BNF given in javadoc, but failed to do so.)
