 * \brief C API: NumberFormat
 *
 * <h2> Number Format C API </h2>
 *
 * 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.
 * <P>
 * 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.
 * <P>
 * To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the static
 * factory methods:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    UChar myString[20];
 *    double myNumber = 7.0;
 *    UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *    UNumberFormat* nf = unum_open(UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, NULL, NULL, &status);
 *    unum_formatDouble(nf, myNumber, myString, 20, NULL, &status);
 *    printf(" Example 1: %s\n", austrdup(myString) ); //austrdup( a function used to convert UChar* to char*)
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * 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.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 * uint32_t i, resultlength, reslenneeded;
 * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 * UFieldPosition pos;
 * uint32_t a[] = { 123, 3333, -1234567 };
 * const uint32_t a_len = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
 * UNumberFormat* nf;
 * 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;
 *    if(status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
 *       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);
 * }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the
 * call to unum_open().
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *     UNumberFormat* nf = unum_open(UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, -1, "fr_FR", NULL, &success)
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * You can use a NumberFormat API unum_parse() to parse.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *    int32_t pos=0;
 *    int32_t num;
 *    num = unum_parse(nf, str, u_strlen(str), &pos, &status);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * 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%.
 * <P>
 * Use a pattern to create either a DecimalFormat or a RuleBasedNumberFormat
 * formatter.  The pattern must conform to the syntax defined for those
 * formatters.
 * <P>
 * You can also control the display of numbers with such function as
 * unum_getAttribues() and unum_setAtributes(), which let you set the
 * miminum fraction digits, grouping, etc.
 * @see UNumberFormatAttributes for more details
 * <P>
 * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with
 * ParsePosition and UFieldPosition to allow you to:
 * <ul type=round>
 *   <li>(a) progressively parse through pieces of a string.
 *   <li>(b) align the decimal point and other areas.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * It is also possible to change or set the symbols used for a particular
 * locale like the currency symbol, the grouping seperator , monetary seperator
 * etc by making use of functions unum_setSymbols() and unum_getSymbols().
