Method Detail

getExponentFormat

public NumberFormat getExponentFormat()

Returns the number format used for the exponent.

Returns:

The number format (never null).

Since:

1.0.13.

setExponentFormat

public void setExponentFormat(NumberFormat format)

Sets the number format used for the exponent.

Parameters:

format - the formatter (null not permitted).

Since:

1.0.13

format

public StringBuffer format(double number,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Returns a formatted representation of the specified number.

Specified by:

format in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

number - the number.

toAppendTo - the string buffer to append to.

pos - the position.

Returns:

A string buffer containing the formatted value.

format

public StringBuffer format(long number,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Formats the specified number as a hexadecimal string. The decimal fraction is ignored.

Specified by:

format in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

number - the number to format.

toAppendTo - the buffer to append to (ignored here).

pos - the field position (ignored here).

Returns:

The string buffer.

parse

public Number parse(String source,
                    ParsePosition parsePosition)

Parsing is not implemented, so this method always returns null.

Specified by:

parse in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

source - ignored.

parsePosition - ignored.

Returns:

Always null.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Tests this formatter for equality with an arbitrary object.

Overrides:

equals in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

obj - the object (null permitted).

Returns:

A boolean.

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a clone of this instance.

Overrides:

clone in class NumberFormat
