36 /**
37  * <p>
38  * <code>PluralFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
39  * messages with plural inflection. It is based on <i>plural
40  * selection</i>, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each
41  * plural case that can appear in the user's language and the
42  * <code>PluralFormat</code> selects the appropriate message based on
43  * the number.
44  * </p>
45  * <h4>The Problem of Plural Forms in Internationalized Messages</h4>
46  * <p>
47  * Different languages have different ways to inflect
48  * plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural
49  * forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural
50  * forms of <i>all</i> languages correctly. <code>ChoiceFormat</code>
51  * doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to
52  * each message and selects the message whose interval contains a
53  * given number. This can only handle a finite number of
54  * intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case
55  * applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the plural case applies to
56  * numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or
57  * 14). Thus <code>ChoiceFormat</code> is not adequate.
58  * </p><p>
59  * <code>PluralFormat</code> deals with this by breaking the problem
60  * into two parts:
61  * <ul>
62  * <li>It uses <code>PluralRules</code> that can define more complex
63  *     conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural
64  *     rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to
65  *     which numbers these cases apply.
66  * <li>It provides predefined plural rules for many languages. Thus, the programmer
67  *     need not worry about the plural cases of a language and
68  *     does not have to define the plural cases; they can simply
69  *     use the predefined keywords. The whole plural formatting of messages can
70  *     be done using localized patterns from resource bundles. For predefined plural
71  *     rules, see the CLDR <i>Language Plural Rules</i> page at
72  *    http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
73  * </ul>
74  * </p>
75  * <h4>Usage of <code>PluralFormat</code></h4>
76  * <p>Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via <code>MessageFormat</code>
77  * with a <code>plural</code> argument type,
78  * rather than using a stand-alone <code>PluralFormat</code>.
79  * </p><p>
80  * This discussion assumes that you use <code>PluralFormat</code> with
81  * a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of
82  * the constructors that takes a <code>locale</code> object. To
83  * specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the
84  * constructor or set it explicitly using the
85  * <code>applyPattern()</code> method. The <code>format()</code>
86  * method takes a number object and selects the message of the
87  * matching plural case. This message will be returned.
88  * </p>
89  * <h5>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h5>
90  * <p>
91  * The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the
92  * specified locale. Syntax:
93  * <pre>
94  * pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+
95  * offsetValue = "offset:" number
96  * selector = explicitValue | keyword
97  * explicitValue = '=' number  // adjacent, no white space in between
98  * keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
99  * message: see {@link MessageFormat}
100  * </pre>
101  * Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except
102  * between the {curly braces} and their sub-message,
103  * and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue.
104  *
105  * </p><p>
106  * There are 6 predefined casekeyword in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and
107  * 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case
108  * <code>other</code> which is contained in every rule set.
109  * If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the
110  * message text of the plural case <code>other</code> gets assigned to this
111  * plural case.
112  * </p><p>
113  * When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses.
114  * If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling
115  * the <code>PluralRules</code> with the input number <em>minus the offset</em>.
116  * (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.)
117  * If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned.
118  * </p><p>
119  * An unquoted pound sign (<code>#</code>) in the selected sub-message
120  * itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message)
121  * is replaced by the input number minus the offset.
122  * The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a
123  * <code>NumberFormat</code> for the <code>PluralFormat</code>'s locale. If you
124  * need special number formatting, you have to use a <code>MessageFormat</code>
125  * and explicitly specify a <code>NumberFormat</code> argument.
126  * <strong>Note:</strong> That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset!
127  * If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the
128  * number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter.
129  * </p>
130  * For a usage example, see the {@link MessageFormat} class documentation.
131  *
132  * <h4>Defining Custom Plural Rules</h4>
133  * <p>If you need to use <code>PluralFormat</code> with custom rules, you can
134  * create a <code>PluralRules</code> object and pass it to
135  * <code>PluralFormat</code>'s constructor. If you also specify a locale in this
136  * constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message
137  * texts.
138  * </p><p>
139  * For more information about <code>PluralRules</code>, see
140  * {@link PluralRules}.
