- Enum Constant Detail
  - MSG_START
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type MSG_START
```
    Start of a message pattern (main or nested). The length is 0 for the top-level message and for a choice argument sub-message, otherwise 1 for the '{'. The value indicates the nesting level, starting with 0 for the main message.
    There is always a later MSG_LIMIT part.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - MSG_LIMIT
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type MSG_LIMIT
```
    End of a message pattern (main or nested). The length is 0 for the top-level message and the last sub-message of a choice argument, otherwise 1 for the '}' or (in a choice argument style) the '|'. The value indicates the nesting level, starting with 0 for the main message.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - SKIP_SYNTAX
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type SKIP_SYNTAX
```
    Indicates a substring of the pattern string which is to be skipped when formatting. For example, an apostrophe that begins or ends quoted text would be indicated with such a part. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - INSERT_CHAR
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type INSERT_CHAR
```
    Indicates that a syntax character needs to be inserted for auto-quoting. The length is 0. The value is the character code of the insertion character. (U+0027=APOSTROPHE)
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - REPLACE_NUMBER
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type REPLACE_NUMBER
```
    Indicates a syntactic (non-escaped) # symbol in a plural variant. When formatting, replace this part's substring with the (value-offset) for the plural argument value. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_START
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_START
```
    Start of an argument. The length is 1 for the '{'. The value is the ordinal value of the ArgType. Use getArgType().
    This part is followed by either an ARG_NUMBER or ARG_NAME, followed by optional argument sub-parts (see ArgType constants) and finally an ARG_LIMIT part.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_LIMIT
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_LIMIT
```
    End of an argument. The length is 1 for the '}'. The value is the ordinal value of the ArgType. Use getArgType().
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_NUMBER
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_NUMBER
```
    The argument number, provided by the value.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_NAME
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_NAME
```
    The argument name. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_TYPE
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_TYPE
```
    The argument type. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_STYLE
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_STYLE
```
    The argument style text. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_SELECTOR
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_SELECTOR
```
    A selector substring in a "complex" argument style. The value is undefined and currently always 0.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_INT
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_INT
```
    An integer value, for example the offset or an explicit selector value in a PluralFormat style. The part value is the integer value.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - ARG_DOUBLE
```
public static final MessagePattern.Part.Type ARG_DOUBLE
```
    A numeric value, for example the offset or an explicit selector value in a PluralFormat style. The part value is an index into an internal array of numeric values; use getNumericValue().
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static MessagePattern.Part.Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (MessagePattern.Part.Type c : MessagePattern.Part.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static MessagePattern.Part.Type valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - hasNumericValue
```
public boolean hasNumericValue()
```
    Indicates whether this part has a numeric value. If so, then that numeric value can be retrieved via MessagePattern.getNumericValue(Part).
    
    Returns:
    true if this part has a numeric value.
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
