  @param source Value to be converted
  @param maximumDigits The most digits which should be converted.
  If maximumDigits is lower than the number of significant digits
  in source, the representation will be rounded.  Ignored if <= 0.
  @param fixedPoint If true, then maximumDigits is the maximum
  fractional digits to be converted.  If false, total digits.
