## Detailed Description

Concrete class which provides the standard calendar used by most of the world.

The standard (Gregorian) calendar has 2 eras, BC and AD.

This implementation handles a single discontinuity, which corresponds by default to the date the Gregorian calendar was originally instituted (October 15, 1582). Not all countries adopted the Gregorian calendar then, so this cutover date may be changed by the caller.

Prior to the institution of the Gregorian Calendar, New Year's Day was March 25. To avoid confusion, this Calendar always uses January 1. A manual adjustment may be made if desired for dates that are prior to the Gregorian changeover and which fall between January 1 and March 24.

Values calculated for the `WEEK_OF_YEAR` field range from 1 to

1. Week 1 for a year is the first week that contains at least `getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()` days from that year. It thus depends on the values of `getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()`, `getFirstDayOfWeek()`, and the day of the week of January 1. Weeks between week 1 of one year and week 1 of the following year are numbered sequentially from 2 to 52 or 53 (as needed).

For example, January 1, 1998 was a Thursday. If `getFirstDayOfWeek()` is `MONDAY` and `getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()` is 4 (these are the values reflecting ISO 8601 and many national standards), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. If, however, `getFirstDayOfWeek()` is `SUNDAY`, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997.

Example for using GregorianCalendar:

    // get the supported ids for GMT-08:00 (Pacific Standard Time)
    UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    const StringEnumeration *ids = TimeZone::createEnumeration(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, success);
    // if no ids were returned, something is wrong. get out.
    if (U_FAILURE(success)) {
        return;
    }

    // begin output
    cout << "Current Time" << endl;

    // create a Pacific Standard Time time zone
    SimpleTimeZone* pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids->unext(nullptr, success)));

    // set up rules for daylight savings time
    pdt->setStartRule(UCAL_MARCH, 1, UCAL_SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
    pdt->setEndRule(UCAL_NOVEMBER, 2, UCAL_SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

    // create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
    // and the current date and time
    Calendar* calendar = new GregorianCalendar( pdt, success );

    // print out a bunch of interesting things
    cout << "ERA: " << calendar->get( UCAL_ERA, success ) << endl;
    cout << "YEAR: " << calendar->get( UCAL_YEAR, success ) << endl;

  julian day specified by calendar fields.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

Reimplemented from icu::Calendar.

## ◆ handleComputeMonthStart()

|  | int32_t | month,
|  | UBool | useMonth

## ◆ handleGetExtendedYearFromWeekFields()

virtual int32_t icu::GregorianCalendar::handleGetExtendedYearFromWeekFields | ( | int32_t | yearWoy,
|  | int32_t | woy
| ) |  |
| override protected virtual

Subclasses may override this to convert from week fields (YEAR_WOY and WEEK_OF_YEAR) to an extended year in the case where YEAR, EXTENDED_YEAR are not set.

The Gregorian implementation assumes a yearWoy in gregorian format, according to the current era.

Returns
  the extended year, UCAL_EXTENDED_YEAR

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

Reimplemented from icu::Calendar.

virtual int32_t icu::GregorianCalendar::handleGetLimit | ( | UCalendarDateFields | field,
|  | ELimitType | limitType
| ) |  | const

|  | int32_t | month
| ) |  | const
| override protected virtual

Return the number of days in the given month of the given extended year of this calendar system.

Subclasses should override this method if they can provide a more correct or more efficient implementation than the default implementation in Calendar.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

Reimplemented from icu::Calendar.

## ◆ handleGetYearLength()

virtual int32_t icu::GregorianCalendar::handleGetYearLength | ( | int32_t | eyear | ) | const
| override protected virtual

Return the number of days in the given extended year of this calendar system.

Subclasses should override this method if they can provide a more correct or more efficient implementation than the default implementation in Calendar.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

Reimplemented from icu::Calendar.

## ◆ haveDefaultCentury()

virtual UBool icu::GregorianCalendar::haveDefaultCentury | ( |  | ) | const
| override virtual

Returns
  true if this calendar has the notion of a default century

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

Implements icu::Calendar.

## ◆ internalGetEra()

virtual int32_t icu::GregorianCalendar::internalGetEra | ( |  | ) | const
| protected virtual

Return the ERA.

We need a special method for this because the default ERA is AD, but a zero (unset) ERA is BC.

Returns
  the ERA.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

## ◆ isEquivalentTo()

virtual UBool icu::GregorianCalendar::isEquivalentTo | ( | const Calendar & | other | ) | const
| override virtual

Returns true if the given Calendar object is equivalent to this one.

Calendar override.

Parameters

  other | the Calendar to be compared with this Calendar

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

Reimplemented from icu::Calendar.

## ◆ isLeapYear()

UBool icu::GregorianCalendar::isLeapYear | ( | int32_t | year | ) | const

Return true if the given year is a leap year.

Determination of whether a year is a leap year is actually very complicated. We do something crude and mostly correct here, but for a real determination you need a lot of contextual information. For example, in Sweden, the change from Julian to Gregorian happened in a complex way resulting in missed leap years and double leap years between 1700 and 1753. Another example is that after the start of the Julian calendar in 45 B.C., the leap years did not regularize until 8 A.D. This method ignores these quirks, and pays attention only to the Julian onset date and the Gregorian cutover (which can be changed).

Parameters

  year | The given year.

Returns
  True if the given year is a leap year; false otherwise.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## ◆ monthLength() [1/2]

Parameters

  month | the given month.
  year | the given year.

Returns
  the length of the month

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

## ◆ operator=()

GregorianCalendar& icu::GregorianCalendar::operator= | ( | const GregorianCalendar & | right | ) |

Default assignment operator.

Parameters

  right | the object to be copied.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0
