Detailed Description

C API: Compatibility APIs for number formatting.

Number Format C API

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

Number Format C API Provides functions for formatting and parsing a number. Also provides methods for determining which locales have number formats, and what their names are.

UNumberFormat 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. There are different number format styles like decimal, currency, percent and spellout.

To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the static factory methods:

UChar myString[20];
double myNumber = 7.0;
unum_formatDouble(nf, myNumber, myString, 20, NULL, &status);
printf(" Example 1: %s\n", austrdup(myString) ); //austrdup( a function used to convert UChar* to char*)
char16_t UChar
The base type for UTF-16 code units and pointers.
Definition umachine.h:378
U_CAPI int32_t unum_formatDouble(const UNumberFormat *fmt, double number, UChar *result, int32_t resultLength, UFieldPosition *pos, UErrorCode *status)
Format a double using a UNumberFormat.
@ UNUM_DEFAULT
Default format.
Definition unum.h:267
U_CAPI UNumberFormat * unum_open(UNumberFormatStyle style, const UChar *pattern, int32_t patternLength, const char *locale, UParseError *parseErr, UErrorCode *status)
Create and return a new UNumberFormat for formatting and parsing numbers.
void * UNumberFormat
A number formatter.
Definition unum.h:145
#define NULL
Define NULL if necessary, to nullptr for C++ and to ((void *)0) for C.
Definition utypes.h:188
UErrorCode
Standard ICU4C error code type, a substitute for exceptions.
Definition utypes.h:415
@ U_ZERO_ERROR
No error, no warning.
Definition utypes.h:450

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.

uint32_t i, resultlength, reslenneeded;
uint32_t a[] = { 123, 3333, -1234567 };
const uint32_t a_len = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
UChar* result = NULL;
nf = unum_open(UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, NULL, NULL, &status);
for (i = 0; i < a_len; i++) {
resultlength=0;
reslenneeded=unum_format(nf, a[i], NULL, resultlength, &pos, &status);
result = NULL;
status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
resultlength=reslenneeded+1;
result=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * resultlength);
unum_format(nf, a[i], result, resultlength, &pos, &status);
}
printf( " Example 2: %s\n", austrdup(result));
free(result);
}
A struct representing a range of text containing a specific field.
Definition umisc.h:34
U_CAPI int32_t unum_format(const UNumberFormat *fmt, int32_t number, UChar *result, int32_t resultLength, UFieldPosition *pos, UErrorCode *status)
Format an integer using a UNumberFormat.
@ U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR
A result would not fit in the supplied buffer.
Definition utypes.h:466

To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the call to unum_open().

UNumberFormat* nf = unum_open(UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, "fr_FR", NULL, &success)

You can use a NumberFormat API unum_parse() to parse.

int32_t pos=0;
int32_t num;
num = unum_parse(nf, str, u_strlen(str), &pos, &status);
U_CAPI int32_t u_strlen(const UChar *s)
U_CAPI int32_t unum_parse(const UNumberFormat *fmt, const UChar *text, int32_t textLength, int32_t *parsePos, UErrorCode *status)
Parse a string into an integer using a UNumberFormat.

Use UNUM_DECIMAL to get the normal number format for that country. There are other static options available. Use UNUM_CURRENCY to get the currency number format for that country. Use UNUM_PERCENT to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a fraction from 0.53 is displayed as 53%.

Use a pattern to create either a DecimalFormat or a RuleBasedNumberFormat formatter. The pattern must conform to the syntax defined for those formatters.

You can also control the display of numbers with such function as unum_getAttributes() and unum_setAttributes(), which let you set the minimum fraction digits, grouping, etc.

See also
UNumberFormatAttributes for more details

You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and UFieldPosition to allow you to:

It is also possible to change or set the symbols used for a particular locale like the currency symbol, the grouping separator , monetary separator etc by making use of functions unum_setSymbols() and unum_getSymbols().

◆ unum_parseToUFormattable()

U_CAPI UFormattable * unum_parseToUFormattable ( const UNumberFormat fmt,
UFormattable result,
const UChar text,
int32_t  textLength,
int32_t *  parsePos,
UErrorCode status 
)

Parse a UChar string into a UFormattable.

Example code:

const UChar str[] = { 0x0031, 0x0032, 0x0033, 0x0000 }; /* 123 */
int32_t result = 0;
UFormattable *ufmt = ufmt_open(&status);
unum_parseToUFormattable(unum, ufmt, str, -1, NULL, &status);
if (ufmt_isNumeric(ufmt)) {
result = ufmt_getLong(ufmt, &status); /* == 123 */
} /* else { ... } */
ufmt_close(ufmt);
U_CAPI void ufmt_close(UFormattable *fmt)
Cleanup any additional memory allocated by this UFormattable.
U_CAPI UFormattable * ufmt_open(UErrorCode *status)
Initialize a UFormattable, to type UNUM_LONG, value 0 may return error if memory allocation failed.
U_CAPI UBool ufmt_isNumeric(const UFormattable *fmt)
Return whether the object is numeric.
U_CAPI int32_t ufmt_getLong(UFormattable *fmt, UErrorCode *status)
Gets the long (int32_t) value of this object.
void * UFormattable
Opaque type representing various types of data which may be used for formatting and parsing operation...
U_CAPI UFormattable * unum_parseToUFormattable(const UNumberFormat *fmt, UFormattable *result, const UChar *text, int32_t textLength, int32_t *parsePos, UErrorCode *status)
Parse a UChar string into a UFormattable.

Note: parsing is not supported for styles UNUM_DECIMAL_COMPACT_SHORT and UNUM_DECIMAL_COMPACT_LONG.

Parameters
fmtthe formatter to use
resultthe UFormattable to hold the result. If NULL, a new UFormattable will be allocated (which the caller must close with ufmt_close).
textthe text to parse
textLengththe length of text, or -1 if null-terminated
parsePosa pointer to an offset index into text at which to begin parsing. On output, *parsePos will point after the last parsed character. This parameter may be NULL in which case parsing begins at offset 0.
statusa pointer to an input-output UErrorCode
Returns
the UFormattable. Will be ==result unless NULL was passed in for result, in which case it will be the newly opened UFormattable.

◆ unum_setAttribute()

U_CAPI void unum_setAttribute ( UNumberFormat fmt,
UNumberFormatAttribute  attr,
int32_t  newValue 
)

Set a numeric attribute associated with a UNumberFormat.

An example of a numeric attribute is the number of integer digits a formatter will produce. If the formatter does not understand the attribute, the call is ignored. Rule-based formatters only understand the lenient-parse attribute. The caller can use unum_hasAttribute() to find out if the formatter supports the attribute.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter to set.
attrThe attribute to set; one of UNUM_PARSE_INT_ONLY, UNUM_GROUPING_USED, UNUM_DECIMAL_ALWAYS_SHOWN, UNUM_MAX_INTEGER_DIGITS, UNUM_MIN_INTEGER_DIGITS, UNUM_INTEGER_DIGITS, UNUM_MAX_FRACTION_DIGITS, UNUM_MIN_FRACTION_DIGITS, UNUM_FRACTION_DIGITS, UNUM_MULTIPLIER, UNUM_GROUPING_SIZE, UNUM_ROUNDING_MODE, UNUM_FORMAT_WIDTH, UNUM_PADDING_POSITION, UNUM_SECONDARY_GROUPING_SIZE, UNUM_LENIENT_PARSE, UNUM_SCALE, UNUM_MINIMUM_GROUPING_DIGITS.
newValueThe new value of attr.

◆ unum_setContext()

U_CAPI void unum_setContext ( UNumberFormat fmt,
UDisplayContext  value,
UErrorCode status 
)

Set a particular UDisplayContext value in the formatter, such as UDISPCTX_CAPITALIZATION_FOR_STANDALONE.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter for which to set a UDisplayContext value.
valueThe UDisplayContext value to set.
statusA pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors

◆ unum_setDoubleAttribute()

U_CAPI void unum_setDoubleAttribute ( UNumberFormat fmt,
UNumberFormatAttribute  attr,
double  newValue 
)

Set a numeric attribute associated with a UNumberFormat.

An example of a numeric attribute is the number of integer digits a formatter will produce. If the formatter does not understand the attribute, this call is ignored. The caller can use unum_hasAttribute() to tell in advance whether the formatter understands the attribute.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter to set.
attrThe attribute to set; e.g. UNUM_ROUNDING_INCREMENT.
newValueThe new value of attr.

◆ unum_setSymbol()

U_CAPI void unum_setSymbol ( UNumberFormat fmt,
UNumberFormatSymbol  symbol,
const UChar value,
int32_t  length,
UErrorCode status 
)

Set a symbol associated with a UNumberFormat.

A UNumberFormat uses symbols to represent the special locale-dependent characters in a number, for example the percent sign. This API is not supported for rule-based formatters.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter to set.
symbolThe UNumberFormatSymbol constant for the symbol to set
valueThe string to set the symbol to
lengthThe length of the string, or -1 for a zero-terminated string
statusA pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors.

◆ unum_setTextAttribute()

U_CAPI void unum_setTextAttribute ( UNumberFormat fmt,
UNumberFormatTextAttribute  tag,
const UChar newValue,
int32_t  newValueLength,
UErrorCode status 
)

Set a text attribute associated with a UNumberFormat.

An example of a text attribute is the suffix for positive numbers. Rule-based formatters only understand UNUM_DEFAULT_RULESET.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter to set.
tagThe attribute to set; one of UNUM_POSITIVE_PREFIX, UNUM_POSITIVE_SUFFIX, UNUM_NEGATIVE_PREFIX, UNUM_NEGATIVE_SUFFIX, UNUM_PADDING_CHARACTER, UNUM_CURRENCY_CODE, or UNUM_DEFAULT_RULESET.
newValueThe new value of attr.
newValueLengthThe length of newValue, or -1 if null-terminated.
statusA pointer to an UErrorCode to receive any errors

◆ unum_toPattern()

U_CAPI int32_t unum_toPattern ( const UNumberFormat fmt,
UBool  isPatternLocalized,
UChar result,
int32_t  resultLength,
UErrorCode status 
)

Extract the pattern from a UNumberFormat.

The pattern will follow the DecimalFormat pattern syntax.

Parameters
fmtThe formatter to query.
isPatternLocalizedtrue if the pattern should be localized, false otherwise. This is ignored if the formatter is a rule-based formatter.
resultA pointer to a buffer to receive the pattern.
resultLengthThe maximum size of result.
statusA pointer to an input-output UErrorCode.
Returns
The total buffer size needed; if greater than resultLength, the output was truncated.
