17 /**
18  * A UPluralRules object defines rules for mapping non-negative numeric
19  * values onto a small set of keywords. Rules are constructed from a text
20  * description, consisting of a series of keywords and conditions.
21  * The uplrules_select function examines each condition in order and
22  * returns the keyword for the first condition that matches the number.
23  * If none match, the default rule(other) is returned.
24  *
25  * For more information, see the LDML spec, C.11 Language Plural Rules:
26  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Language_Plural_Rules
27  *
28  * Keywords: ICU locale data has 6 predefined values -
29  * 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and 'other'. Callers need to check
30  * the value of keyword returned by the uplrules_select function.
31  *
32  * These are based on CLDR <i>Language Plural Rules</i>. For these
33  * predefined rules, see the CLDR page at
34  * http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
