I wounder if this usage of `Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY` intentional here? Looks a bit suspicious for comparison with `double` argument

src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/util/random/RandomSupport.java line 1548:

Is `@Override` intentionally omitted?

seems unused

1. confusing formatting.
2. This condition is always `true`. Looks like `&&` should be used instead of `||`
