## Detailed Description

IMPORTANT: New users are strongly encouraged to see if numberformatter.h fits their use case. Although not deprecated, this header is provided for backwards compatibility only.

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:

#include <iostream>
#include "unicode/numfmt.h"
#include "unicode/unistr.h"
#include "unicode/ustream.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
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;
}
icu::NumberFormat::createInstance
static NumberFormat * createInstance(UErrorCode &)
Create a default style NumberFormat for the current default locale.
icu::NumberFormat::NumberFormat
NumberFormat()
Default constructor for subclass use only.
numfmt.h
C++ API: Compatibility APIs for number formatting.
unistr.h
C++ API: Unicode String.
ustream.h
C++ API: Unicode iostream like API.
UErrorCode
UErrorCode
Standard ICU4C error code type, a substitute for exceptions.
Definition: utypes.h:415
U_ZERO_ERROR
@ U_ZERO_ERROR
No error, no warning.
Definition: utypes.h:449

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;
NumberFormat *nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( success );
for (int32_t number: {123, 3333, -1234567}) {
nf->format(number, 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::getFrench(), success);
icu::Locale::getFrench
static const Locale & getFrench(void)
Useful constant for this language.

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 a `Locale`. There are other static factory methods available. Use `createCurrencyInstance()` to get the currency number format for that country. Use `createPercentInstance()` to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a fraction from 0.53 is displayed as 53%.

The type of number formatting can be specified by passing a 'style' parameter to `createInstance()`. For example, use
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_DECIMAL, errorCode)` to get the normal number format,
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_PERCENT, errorCode)` to get a format for displaying percentage,
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_SCIENTIFIC, errorCode)` to get a format for displaying scientific number,
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY, errorCode)` to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its symbol, for example, "$3.00".
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY_ISO, errorCode)` to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its ISO code, for example "USD3.00".
`createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY_PLURAL, errorCode)` 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 dynamic_casting the `NumberFormat` you get from the factory methods to a `DecimalFormat`. This will work for the vast majority of countries; just remember to test for nullptr 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 = `UNUM_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.

The number is a DecimalQuantity wrapper onto a floating point decimal number. The default implementation in NumberFormat converts the decimal number to a double and formats that. Subclasses of NumberFormat that want to specifically handle big decimal numbers must override this method. class DecimalFormat does so.

Parameters

  number | The number, a DecimalQuantity format Decimal Floating Point.
  appendTo | Output parameter to receive result. Result is appended to existing contents.
  posIter | On return, can be used to iterate over positions of fields generated by this format call.
  status | Output param filled with success/failure status.

Returns
  Reference to 'appendTo' parameter.

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

Reimplemented in icu::DecimalFormat.

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 nullptr 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.

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. The error code when the string fails to parse is U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR, unless overridden by a subclass.

## ◆ parseCurrency()

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 nullptr.

Stable:
  ICU 49

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

## ◆ parseObject()

virtual void icu::NumberFormat::parseObject | ( | const UnicodeString & | source,
|  | Formattable & | result,
|  | ParsePosition & | parse_pos
| ) |  | const
| override 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 nullptr on failure. The caller owns this and should delete it when done.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

Implements icu::Format.

## ◆ registerFactory()

static URegistryKey icu::NumberFormat::registerFactory | ( | NumberFormatFactory * | toAdopt,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
