Such numbers do not seem to show any special structure worth a dedicated test, so I'm wondering if you mean something else instead. Perhaps you mean y to have at most 4 digits, i.e., 0 <= y < 10^4? Greetings Raffaello P.S. The test recommended in point (1) pass successfully. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3402
