			-- (Static)
			-- Returns a value indicating whether the specified number
			-- evaluates to negative or positive infinity
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   f: A single-precision floating point number.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   true if f evaluates to System.Single.PositiveInfinity
			--   or System.Single.NegativeInfinity; otherwise, false.

			-- (Static)
			-- Returns a value indicating whether the specified number
			-- evaluates to positive infinity.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   f: A single-precision floating point number.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   true if f evaluates to System.Single.PositiveInfinity;
			--   otherwise, false.

			-- (Static)
			-- Returns a value indicating whether the specified number
			-- evaluates to negative infinity.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   f: A single-precision floating point number.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   true if f evaluates to System.Single.NegativeInfinity;

			-- evaluates to not a number (System.Single.NaN).
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   f: A single-precision floating point number.
			--
			-- Returns:

feature -- Conversion

	frozen from_string (s: SYSTEM_STRING): REAL
			-- (Static)
			-- Converts the string representation of a number to its single-precision
			-- floating point number equivalent.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   s: A string representing a number to convert.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   A single-precision floating point number equivalent to the numeric
			--   value or symbol specified in s.
			--
			-- Exceptions:
			--   System.ArgumentNullException: s is null.
			--   System.FormatException: s is not a number in a valid format.
			--   System.OverflowException: s represents a number less than
			--     System.Single.MinValue or greater than System.Single.MaxValue.

	frozen from_string_with_style (s: SYSTEM_STRING; style: NUMBER_STYLES): REAL
			-- (Static)
			-- Converts the string representation of a number in a specified style to
			-- its single-precision floating point number equivalent.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   s: A string representing a number to convert.
			--   style: The combination of one or more
			--     System.Globalization.NumberStylesconstants that indicate the
			--     permitted format of s.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   A single-precision floating point number equivalent to the numeric
			--   value or symbol specified in s.
			--
			-- Exceptions:
			--   System.ArgumentNullException: s is null.
			--   System.FormatException: s is not a numeric value.
			--   System.ArgumentException: style is not a combination of bit flags
			--     from the System.Globalization.NumberStyles enumeration.

	frozen from_string_with_format (s: SYSTEM_STRING; provider: IFORMAT_PROVIDER): REAL
			-- (Static)
			-- Converts the string representation of a number in a specified
			-- culture-specific format to its single-precision floating point
			-- number equivalent.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   s: A string representing a number to convert.
			--   provider: An System.IFormatProvider that supplies culture-specific
			--     formatting information about s.
			--
			-- Returns:
			--   A single-precision floating point number equivalent to the numeric
			--   value or symbol specified in s.
			--
			-- Exceptions:
			--   System.ArgumentNullException: s is null.
			--   System.FormatException: s is not a number in a valid format.
			--   System.OverflowException: s represents a number less than
			--     System.Single.MinValue or greater than System.Single.MaxValue.

			-- and culture-specific format to its single-precision floating point
			-- number equivalent.
			--
			-- Parameters:
			--   s: A string representing a number to convert.
			--   style: The combination of one or more
			--     System.Globalization.NumberStylesconstants that indicate the
