## Detailed Description

This class represents the set of symbols needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers.

DecimalFormat creates for itself an instance of DecimalFormatSymbols from its locale data. If you need to change any of these symbols, you can get the DecimalFormatSymbols object from your DecimalFormat and modify it.

Here are the special characters used in the parts of the subpattern, with notes on their usage.

    Symbol   Meaning
      0      a digit
      #      a digit, zero shows as absent
      .      placeholder for decimal separator
      ,      placeholder for grouping separator.
      ;      separates formats.
      -      default negative prefix.
      %      divide by 100 and show as percentage
      X      any other characters can be used in the prefix or suffix
      '      used to quote special characters in a prefix or suffix.

[Notes]

If there is no explicit negative subpattern, - is prefixed to the positive form. That is, "0.00" alone is equivalent to "0.00;-0.00".

The grouping separator is commonly used for thousands, but in some countries for ten-thousands. The interval is a constant number of digits between the grouping characters, such as 100,000,000 or 1,0000,0000. If you supply a pattern with multiple grouping characters, the interval between the last one and the end of the integer is the one that is used. So "#,##,###,####" == "######,####" == "##,####,####".

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## DecimalFormatSymbols() [1/4]

icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::DecimalFormatSymbols | ( | const Locale & | locale,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  |

Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the given locale.

Parameters

  locale | The locale to get symbols for.
  status | Input/output parameter, set to success or failure code upon return.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## DecimalFormatSymbols() [2/4]

icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::DecimalFormatSymbols | ( | const Locale & | locale,
|  | const NumberingSystem & | ns,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  |

Creates a DecimalFormatSymbols instance for the given locale with digits and symbols corresponding to the given NumberingSystem.

This constructor behaves equivalently to the normal constructor called with a locale having a "numbers=xxxx" keyword specifying the numbering system by name.

In this constructor, the NumberingSystem argument will be used even if the locale has its own "numbers=xxxx" keyword.

Parameters

  locale | The locale to get symbols for.
  ns | The numbering system.
  status | Input/output parameter, set to success or failure code upon return.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## DecimalFormatSymbols() [3/4]

icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::DecimalFormatSymbols | ( | UErrorCode & | status | ) |

Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the default locale.

This constructor will not fail. If the resource file data is not available, it will use hard-coded last-resort data and set status to U_USING_FALLBACK_ERROR.

Parameters

  status | Input/output parameter, set to success or failure code upon return.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## DecimalFormatSymbols() [4/4]

icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::DecimalFormatSymbols | ( | const DecimalFormatSymbols & |  | ) |

Copy constructor.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## ~DecimalFormatSymbols()

virtual icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::~DecimalFormatSymbols | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Destructor.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## Member Function Documentation

## createWithLastResortData()

static DecimalFormatSymbols* icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::createWithLastResortData | ( | UErrorCode & | status | ) |

static

Creates a DecimalFormatSymbols object with last-resort data.

Intended for callers who cache the symbols data and set all symbols on the resulting object.

The last-resort symbols are similar to those for the root data, except that the grouping separators are empty, the NaN symbol is U+FFFD rather than "NaN", and the CurrencySpacing patterns are empty.

Parameters

  status | Input/output parameter, set to success or failure code upon return.

Returns
  last-resort symbols

Stable:
  ICU 52

## getCodePointZero()

UChar32 icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::getCodePointZero | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Internal:
  Do not use.

This API is for internal use only. For ICU use only

Definition at line 414 of file dcfmtsym.h.

## getConstDigitSymbol()

const UnicodeString & icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::getConstDigitSymbol | ( | int32_t | digit | ) | const

inline

Returns the const UnicodeString reference, like getConstSymbol, corresponding to the digit with the given value.

This is equivalent to accessing the symbol from getConstSymbol with the corresponding key, such as kZeroDigitSymbol or kOneDigitSymbol.

This is not currently stable API, but if you think it should be stable, post a comment on the following ticket and the ICU team will take a look: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-13580

Parameters

  digit | The digit, an integer between 0 and 9 inclusive. If outside the range 0 to 9, the zero digit is returned.

Returns
  the format symbol for the given digit.

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

Definition at line 544 of file dcfmtsym.h.

## getConstSymbol()

const UnicodeString & icu::DecimalFormatSymbols::getConstSymbol | ( | ENumberFormatSymbol | symbol | ) | const

inline

Internal function - more efficient version of getSymbol, returning a const reference to one of the symbol strings.

The returned reference becomes invalid when the symbol is changed or when the DecimalFormatSymbols are destroyed. Note: moved #ifndef U_HIDE_INTERNAL_API after this, since this is needed for inline in DecimalFormat

This is not currently stable API, but if you think it should be stable, post a comment on the following ticket and the ICU team will take a look: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-13580

Parameters

  symbol | Constant to indicate a number format symbol.
