Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all number formats.

Provides interface for formatting and parsing a number. Also provides methods for determining which locales have number formats, and what their names are.

NumberFormat helps you to format and parse numbers for any locale. Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for decimal points, thousands-separators, or even the particular decimal digits used, or whether the number format is even decimal.

To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the static factory methods:

double myNumber = 7.0;
UnicodeString myString;
UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
NumberFormat* nf = NumberFormat::createInstance(success)
nf->format(myNumber, myString);
cout << " Example 1: " << myString << endl;

Note that there are additional factory methods within subclasses of NumberFormat.

If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.

UnicodeString myString;
UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( success );
int32_t a[] = { 123, 3333, -1234567 };
const int32_t a_len = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
myString.remove();
for (int32_t i = 0; i < a_len; i++) {
    nf->format(a[i], myString);
    myString += " ; ";
}
cout << " Example 2: " << myString << endl;

To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the call to createInstance().

nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( Locale::FRENCH, success );

You can use a NumberFormat to parse also.

UErrorCode success;
Formattable result(-999);  // initialized with error code
nf->parse(myString, result, success);

Use createInstance to get the normal number format for that country. There are other static factory methods available. Use getCurrency to get the currency number format for that country. Use getPercent to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a fraction from 0.53 is displayed as 53%.

Starting from ICU 4.2, you can use createInstance() by passing in a 'style' as parameter to get the correct instance. For example, use createInstance(...kNumberStyle...) to get the normal number format, createInstance(...kPercentStyle...) to get a format for displaying percentage, createInstance(...kScientificStyle...) to get a format for displaying scientific number, createInstance(...kCurrencyStyle...) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its symbol, for example, "$3.00". createInstance(...kIsoCurrencyStyle...) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its ISO code, for example "USD3.00". createInstance(...kPluralCurrencyStyle...) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its full name in plural format, for example, "3.00 US dollars" or "1.00 US dollar".

You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as getMinimumFractionDigits. If you want even more control over the format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can try casting the NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a DecimalNumberFormat. This will work for the vast majority of countries; just remember to put it in a try block in case you encounter an unusual one.

You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and FieldPosition to allow you to:

(a) progressively parse through pieces of a string.
(b) align the decimal point and other areas.

For example, you can align numbers in two ways.

If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment, you can pass the FieldPosition in your format call, with field = INTEGER_FIELD. On output, getEndIndex will be set to the offset between the last character of the integer and the decimal. Add (desiredSpaceCount - getEndIndex) spaces at the front of the string.

If you are using proportional fonts, instead of padding with spaces, measure the width of the string in pixels from the start to getEndIndex. Then move the pen by (desiredPixelWidth - widthToAlignmentPoint) before drawing the text. It also works where there is no decimal, but possibly additional characters at the end, e.g. with parentheses in negative numbers: "(12)" for -12.

User subclasses are not supported. While clients may write subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be guaranteed to work stably from release to release.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum icu::NumberFormat::EAlignmentFields

Alignment Field constants used to construct a FieldPosition object.

Signifies that the position of the integer part or fraction part of a formatted number should be returned.

Note: as of ICU 4.4, the values in this enum have been extended to support identification of all number format fields, not just those pertaining to alignment.

These constants are provided for backwards compatibility only. Please use the C style constants defined in the header file unum.h.

virtual UClassID icu::NumberFormat::getDynamicClassID ( void ) const

pure virtual

Returns a unique class ID POLYMORPHICALLY.

Pure virtual override. This method is to implement a simple version of RTTI, since not all C++ compilers support genuine RTTI. Polymorphic operator==() and clone() methods call this method.

Returns: The class ID for this object. All objects of a given class have the same class ID. Objects of other classes have different class IDs.

static UClassID icu::NumberFormat::getStaticClassID ( void )

static

Return the class ID for this class.

This is useful for comparing to a return value from getDynamicClassID(). Note that, because NumberFormat is an abstract base class, no fully constructed object will have the class ID returned by NumberFormat::getStaticClassID().

Returns: The class ID for all objects of this class.

Stable:: ICU 2.0

Reimplemented in icu::DecimalFormat, icu::RuleBasedNumberFormat, icu::ChoiceFormat, and icu::CompactDecimalFormat.

UBool icu::NumberFormat::isGroupingUsed ( void ) const

Returns true if grouping is used in this format.

For example, in the English locale, with grouping on, the number 1234567 might be formatted as "1,234,567". The grouping separator as well as the size of each group is locale dependant and is determined by sub-classes of NumberFormat.

UBool icu::NumberFormat::isParseIntegerOnly ( void ) const

inline

Return true if this format will parse numbers as integers only.

For example in the English locale, with ParseIntegerOnly true, the string "1234." would be parsed as the integer value 1234 and parsing would stop at the "." character. Of course, the exact format accepted by the parse operation is locale dependant and determined by sub-classes of NumberFormat.

Returns: true if this format will parse numbers as integers only.

virtual UBool icu::NumberFormat::operator== ( const Format & other ) const

virtual

Return true if the given Format objects are semantically equal.

Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal.

Returns: true if the given Format objects are semantically equal.

Stable:: ICU 2.0

Implements icu::Format.

Reimplemented in icu::DecimalFormat, icu::RuleBasedNumberFormat, icu::ChoiceFormat, and icu::CompactDecimalFormat.

virtual void icu::NumberFormat::parse	(	const UnicodeString &	text,
		Formattable &	result,
		ParsePosition &	parsePosition
	)		const

pure virtual

Return a long if possible (e.g.

within range LONG_MAX, LONG_MAX], and with no decimals), otherwise a double. If IntegerOnly is set, will stop at a decimal point (or equivalent; e.g. for rational numbers "1 2/3", will stop after the 1).

If no object can be parsed, index is unchanged, and NULL is returned.

This is a pure virtual which concrete subclasses must implement.

Parameters

text	The text to be parsed.
result	Formattable to be set to the parse result. If parse fails, return contents are undefined.
parsePosition	The position to start parsing at on input. On output, moved to after the last successfully parse character. On parse failure, does not change.

Stable:: ICU 2.0

Implemented in icu::DecimalFormat, icu::RuleBasedNumberFormat, icu::ChoiceFormat, and icu::CompactDecimalFormat.

virtual void icu::NumberFormat::parse	(	const UnicodeString &	text,
		Formattable &	result,
		UErrorCode &	status
	)		const

virtual

Parse a string as a numeric value, and return a Formattable numeric object.

This method parses integers only if IntegerOnly is set.

Parameters

text	The text to be parsed.
result	Formattable to be set to the parse result. If parse fails, return contents are undefined.
status	Output parameter set to a failure error code when a failure occurs.

See Also: NumberFormat::isParseIntegerOnly

Stable:: ICU 2.0

Reimplemented in icu::CompactDecimalFormat.

virtual CurrencyAmount* icu::NumberFormat::parseCurrency	(	const UnicodeString &	text,
		ParsePosition &	pos
	)		const

virtual

Parses text from the given string as a currency amount.

Unlike the parse() method, this method will attempt to parse a generic currency name, searching for a match of this object's locale's currency display names, or for a 3-letter ISO currency code. This method will fail if this format is not a currency format, that is, if it does not contain the currency pattern symbol (U+00A4) in its prefix or suffix.

Parameters

text	the string to parse
pos	input-output position; on input, the position within text to match; must have 0 <= pos.getIndex() < text.length(); on output, the position after the last matched character. If the parse fails, the position in unchanged upon output.

Returns: if parse succeeds, a pointer to a newly-created CurrencyAmount object (owned by the caller) containing information about the parsed currency; if parse fails, this is NULL.

Stable:: ICU 49

Reimplemented in icu::DecimalFormat, and icu::CompactDecimalFormat.

virtual void icu::NumberFormat::parseObject	(	const UnicodeString &	source,
		Formattable &	result,
		ParsePosition &	parse_pos
	)		const

virtual

Parse a string to produce an object.

This methods handles parsing of numeric strings into Formattable objects with numeric types.

Before calling, set parse_pos.index to the offset you want to start parsing at in the source. After calling, parse_pos.index indicates the position after the successfully parsed text. If an error occurs, parse_pos.index is unchanged.

When parsing, leading whitespace is discarded (with successful parse), while trailing whitespace is left as is.

See Format::parseObject() for more.

Parameters

source	The string to be parsed into an object.
result	Formattable to be set to the parse result. If parse fails, return contents are undefined.
parse_pos	The position to start parsing at. Upon return this param is set to the position after the last character successfully parsed. If the source is not parsed successfully, this param will remain unchanged.

Returns: A newly created Formattable* object, or NULL on failure. The caller owns this and should delete it when done.
