Constructor Detail

BigFractionFormat

public BigFractionFormat()

Create an improper formatting instance with the default number format for the numerator and denominator.

BigFractionFormat

public BigFractionFormat(NumberFormat format)

Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for both the numerator and denominator.

Parameters:

format - the custom format for both the numerator and denominator.

BigFractionFormat

public BigFractionFormat(NumberFormat numeratorFormat,
                         NumberFormat denominatorFormat)

Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for the numerator and a custom number format for the denominator.

Parameters:

numeratorFormat - the custom format for the numerator.

denominatorFormat - the custom format for the denominator.

Method Detail

getAvailableLocales

public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()

Get the set of locales for which complex formats are available. This is the same set as the NumberFormat set.

Returns:

available complex format locales.

formatBigFraction

public static String formatBigFraction(BigFraction f)

This static method calls formatBigFraction() on a default instance of BigFractionFormat.

Parameters:

f - BigFraction object to format

Returns:

A formatted BigFraction in proper form.

getImproperInstance

public static BigFractionFormat getImproperInstance()

Returns the default complex format for the current locale.

Returns:

the default complex format.

getImproperInstance

public static BigFractionFormat getImproperInstance(Locale locale)

Returns the default complex format for the given locale.

Parameters:

locale - the specific locale used by the format.

Returns:

the complex format specific to the given locale.

getProperInstance

public static BigFractionFormat getProperInstance()

Returns the default complex format for the current locale.

Returns:

the default complex format.

getProperInstance

public static BigFractionFormat getProperInstance(Locale locale)

Returns the default complex format for the given locale.

Parameters:

locale - the specific locale used by the format.

Returns:

the complex format specific to the given locale.

format

public StringBuffer format(BigFraction BigFraction,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Formats a BigFraction object to produce a string. The BigFraction is output in improper format.

Parameters:

BigFraction - the object to format.

toAppendTo - where the text is to be appended

pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field

Returns:

the value passed in as toAppendTo.

format

public StringBuffer format(Object obj,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Formats an object and appends the result to a StringBuffer. obj must be either a BigFraction object or a BigInteger object or a Number object. Any other type of object will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.

Overrides:

format in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

obj - the object to format.

toAppendTo - where the text is to be appended

pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field

Returns:

the value passed in as toAppendTo.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - is obj is not a valid type.

parse

public BigFraction parse(String source)
                  throws ParseException

Parses a string to produce a BigFraction object.

Overrides:

parse in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

Returns:

the parsed BigFraction object.

Throws:

ParseException - if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.

parse

public BigFraction parse(String source,
                         ParsePosition pos)

Parses a string to produce a BigFraction object. This method expects the string to be formatted as an improper BigFraction.

Specified by:

parse in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

pos - input/ouput parsing parameter.

Returns:

the parsed BigFraction object.
