43 /**
44  *
45  * Collation keys are generated by the Collator class.  Use the CollationKey objects
46  * instead of Collator to compare strings multiple times.  A CollationKey
47  * preprocesses the comparison information from the Collator object to
48  * make the comparison faster.  If you are not going to comparing strings
49  * multiple times, then using the Collator object is generally faster,
50  * since it only processes as much of the string as needed to make a
51  * comparison.
52  * <p> For example (with strength == tertiary)
53  * <p>When comparing "Abernathy" to "Baggins-Smythworthy", Collator
54  * only needs to process a couple of characters, while a comparison
55  * with CollationKeys will process all of the characters.  On the other hand,
56  * if you are doing a sort of a number of fields, it is much faster to use
57  * CollationKeys, since you will be comparing strings multiple times.
58  * <p>Typical use of CollationKeys are in databases, where you store a CollationKey
59  * in a hidden field, and use it for sorting or indexing.
60  *
61  * <p>Example of use:
62  * <pre>
63  * \code
64  *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
65  *     Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
66  *     CollationKey* keys = new CollationKey [3];
67  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Tom", keys[0], success );
68  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Dick", keys[1], success );
69  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Harry", keys[2], success );
70  *
71  *     // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way:
72  *     CollationKey tmp;
73  *     if(keys[0].compareTo( keys[1] ) > 0 ) {
74  *         tmp = keys[0]; keys[0] = keys[1]; keys[1] = tmp;
75  *     }
76  *     //...
77  * \endcode
78  * </pre>
79  * <p>Because Collator::compare()'s algorithm is complex, it is faster to sort
80  * long lists of words by retrieving collation keys with Collator::getCollationKey().
81  * You can then cache the collation keys and compare them using CollationKey::compareTo().
82  * <p>
83  * <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale,
84  * CollationStrength and DecompositionMode settings will return different
85  * CollationKeys for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
86  * collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
87  * are taken into account, for example, will result in different CollationKeys
88  * for same strings.
