This is an abstract base class which * specifies the protocol for classes which convert other objects or * values, such as numeric values and dates, and their string * representations. In some cases these representations may be * localized or contain localized characters or strings. For example, * a numeric formatter such as DecimalFormat may convert a numeric * value such as 12345 to the string "$12,345". It may also parse * the string back into a numeric value. A date and time formatter * like SimpleDateFormat may represent a specific date, encoded * numerically, as a string such as "Wednesday, February 26, 1997 AD". * <P> * Many of the concrete subclasses of Format employ the notion of * a pattern. A pattern is a string representation of the rules which * govern the interconversion between values and strings. For example, * a DecimalFormat object may be associated with the pattern * "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)", which is a common US English format for * currency values, yielding strings such as "$1,234.45" for 1234.45, * and "($987.65)" for 987.6543. The specific syntax of a pattern * is defined by each subclass. * <P> * Even though many subclasses use patterns, the notion of a pattern * is not inherent to Format classes in general, and is not part of * the explicit base class protocol. * <P> * Two complex formatting classes bear mentioning. These are * MessageFormat and ChoiceFormat. ChoiceFormat is a subclass of * NumberFormat which allows the user to format different number ranges * as strings. For instance, 0 may be represented as "no files", 1 as * "one file", and any number greater than 1 as "many files". * MessageFormat is a formatter which utilizes other Format objects to * format a string containing with multiple values. For instance, * A MessageFormat object might produce the string "There are no files * on the disk MyDisk on February 27, 1997." given the arguments 0, * "MyDisk", and the date value of 2/27/97. See the ChoiceFormat * and MessageFormat headers for further information. * <P> * If formatting is unsuccessful, a failing UErrorCode is returned when * the Format cannot format the type of object, otherwise if there is * something illformed about the the Unicode replacement character * 0xFFFD is returned. * <P> * If there is no match when parsing, a parse failure UErrorCode is * retured for methods which take no ParsePosition. For the method * that takes a ParsePosition, the index parameter is left unchanged. * <P> * <em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write * subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be * guaranteed to work stably from release to release. */ class U_I18N_API Format : public UObject { public: /** Destructor * @stable ICU 2.4 */ virtual ~Format(); /** * Return true if the given Format objects are semantically equal. * Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal. * @param other the object to be compared with. * @return Return true if the given Format objects are semantically equal. * Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal. * @stable ICU 2.0 */ virtual UBool operator==(const Format& other) const = 0; /** * Return true if the given Format objects are not semantically * equal. * @param other the object to be compared with. * @return Return true if the given Format objects are not semantically. * @stable ICU 2.0 */ UBool operator!=(const Format& other) const { return !operator==(other); } /** * Clone this object polymorphically.
