Detailed Description

Defines numbering systems.

A numbering system describes the scheme by which numbers are to be presented to the end user. In its simplest form, a numbering system describes the set of digit characters that are to be used to display numbers, such as Western digits, Thai digits, Arabic-Indic digits, etc., in a positional numbering system with a specified radix (typically 10). More complicated numbering systems are algorithmic in nature, and require use of an RBNF formatter ( rule based number formatter ), in order to calculate the characters to be displayed for a given number. Examples of algorithmic numbering systems include Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and Hebrew numerals. Formatting rules for many commonly used numbering systems are included in the ICU package, based on the numbering system rules defined in CLDR. Alternate numbering systems can be specified to a locale by using the numbers locale keyword.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createInstance() [1/3]

static NumberingSystem* icu::NumberingSystem::createInstance	(	const Locale &	inLocale,
		UErrorCode &	status
	)

static

Create the default numbering system associated with the specified locale.

Parameters

inLocale	The given locale.
status	ICU status

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ createInstance() [2/3]

static NumberingSystem* icu::NumberingSystem::createInstance ( UErrorCode & status )

static

Create the default numbering system associated with the default locale.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ createInstance() [3/3]

static NumberingSystem* icu::NumberingSystem::createInstance	(	int32_t	radix,
		UBool	isAlgorithmic,
		const UnicodeString &	description,
		UErrorCode &	status
	)

static

Create a numbering system using the specified radix, type, and description.

Parameters

radix	The radix (base) for this numbering system.
isAlgorithmic	TRUE if the numbering system is algorithmic rather than numeric.
description	The string representing the set of digits used in a numeric system, or the name of the RBNF ruleset to be used in an algorithmic system.
status	ICU status

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ createInstanceByName()

static NumberingSystem* icu::NumberingSystem::createInstanceByName	(	const char *	name,
		UErrorCode &	status
	)

static

Create a numbering system from one of the predefined numbering systems specified by CLDR and known to ICU, such as "latn", "arabext", or "hanidec"; the full list is returned by unumsys_openAvailableNames.

Note that some of the names listed at http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/tags/latest/common/bcp47/number.xml - e.g. default, native, traditional, finance - do not identify specific numbering systems, but rather key values that may only be used as part of a locale, which in turn defines how they are mapped to a specific numbering system such as "latn" or "hant".

Parameters

name	The name of the numbering system.
status	ICU status; set to U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR if numbering system not found.

Returns: The NumberingSystem instance, or nullptr if not found.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ getAvailableNames()

static StringEnumeration* icu::NumberingSystem::getAvailableNames ( UErrorCode & status )

static

Return a StringEnumeration over all the names of numbering systems known to ICU.

The numbering system names will be in alphabetical (invariant) order.

The returned StringEnumeration is owned by the caller, who must delete it when finished with it.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ getDescription()

virtual UnicodeString icu::NumberingSystem::getDescription ( ) const

virtual

Returns the description string of this numbering system.

For simple positional systems this is the ordered string of digits (with length matching the radix), e.g. "\u3007\u4E00\u4E8C\u4E09\u56DB\u4E94\u516D\u4E03\u516B\u4E5D" for "hanidec"; it would be "0123456789ABCDEF" for hexadecimal. For algorithmic systems this is the name of the RBNF ruleset used for formatting, e.g. "zh/SpelloutRules/%spellout-cardinal" for "hans" or "%greek-upper" for "grek".

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ getDynamicClassID()

virtual UClassID icu::NumberingSystem::getDynamicClassID ( ) const

virtual

ICU "poor man's RTTI", returns a UClassID for the actual class.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

Reimplemented from icu::UObject.

◆ getName()

const char* icu::NumberingSystem::getName ( ) const

Returns the name of this numbering system if it was created using one of the predefined names known to ICU.

Otherwise, returns NULL. The predefined names are identical to the numbering system names as defined by the BCP47 definition in Unicode CLDR. See also, http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/tags/latest/common/bcp47/number.xml

Stable:: ICU 4.6

◆ getRadix()

int32_t icu::NumberingSystem::getRadix ( ) const

Returns the radix of this numbering system.

Simple positional numbering systems typically have radix 10, but might have a radix of e.g. 16 for hexadecimal. The radix is less well-defined for non-positional algorithmic systems.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ getStaticClassID()

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

static

ICU "poor man's RTTI", returns a UClassID for this class.

Stable:: ICU 4.2

◆ isAlgorithmic()

UBool icu::NumberingSystem::isAlgorithmic ( ) const

Returns TRUE if the given numbering system is algorithmic.

Returns: TRUE if the numbering system is algorithmic. Otherwise, return FALSE.

Stable:: ICU 4.2
