     35  * DateIntervalFormat is a class for formatting and parsing date
     36  * intervals in a language-independent manner.
     37  * Only formatting is supported, parsing is not supported.
     38  *
     39  * <P>
     40  * Date interval means from one date to another date,
     41  * for example, from "Jan 11, 2008" to "Jan 18, 2008".
     42  * We introduced class DateInterval to represent it.
     43  * DateInterval is a pair of UDate, which is
     44  * the standard milliseconds since 24:00 GMT, Jan 1, 1970.
     45  *
     46  * <P>
     47  * DateIntervalFormat formats a DateInterval into
     48  * text as compactly as possible.
     49  * For example, the date interval format from "Jan 11, 2008" to "Jan 18,. 2008"
     50  * is "Jan 11-18, 2008" for English.
     51  * And it parses text into DateInterval,
     52  * although initially, parsing is not supported.
     53  *
     54  * <P>
     55  * There is no structural information in date time patterns.
     56  * For any punctuations and string literals inside a date time pattern,
     57  * we do not know whether it is just a separator, or a prefix, or a suffix.
     58  * Without such information, so, it is difficult to generate a sub-pattern
     59  * (or super-pattern) by algorithm.
     60  * So, formatting a DateInterval is pattern-driven. It is very
     61  * similar to formatting in SimpleDateFormat.
     62  * We introduce class DateIntervalInfo to save date interval
     63  * patterns, similar to date time pattern in SimpleDateFormat.
     64  *
     65  * <P>
     66  * Logically, the interval patterns are mappings
     67  * from (skeleton, the_largest_different_calendar_field)
     68  * to (date_interval_pattern).
     69  *
     70  * <P>
     71  * A skeleton
     72  * <ol>
     73  * <li>
     74  * only keeps the field pattern letter and ignores all other parts
     75  * in a pattern, such as space, punctuations, and string literals.
     76  * </li>
     77  * <li>
     78  * hides the order of fields.
     79  * </li>
     80  * <li>
     81  * might hide a field's pattern letter length.
     82  * </li>
     83  * </ol>
     84  *
     85  * For those non-digit calendar fields, the pattern letter length is
     86  * important, such as MMM, MMMM, and MMMMM; EEE and EEEE,
     87  * and the field's pattern letter length is honored.
     88  *
     89  * For the digit calendar fields,  such as M or MM, d or dd, yy or yyyy,
     90  * the field pattern length is ignored and the best match, which is defined
     91  * in date time patterns, will be returned without honor the field pattern
     92  * letter length in skeleton.
     93  *
     94  * <P>
     95  * The calendar fields we support for interval formatting are:
     96  * year, month, date, day-of-week, am-pm, hour, hour-of-day, and minute.
     97  * Those calendar fields can be defined in the following order:
     98  * year >  month > date > hour (in day) >  minute
     99  *
    100  * The largest different calendar fields between 2 calendars is the
    101  * first different calendar field in above order.
    102  *
    103  * For example: the largest different calendar fields between "Jan 10, 2007"
    104  * and "Feb 20, 2008" is year.
    105  *
    106  * <P>
    107  * For other calendar fields, the compact interval formatting is not
    108  * supported. And the interval format will be fall back to fall-back
    109  * patterns, which is mostly "{date0} - {date1}".
    110  *
    111  * <P>
    112  * There is a set of pre-defined static skeleton strings.
    113  * There are pre-defined interval patterns for those pre-defined skeletons
    114  * in locales' resource files.
    115  * For example, for a skeleton UDAT_YEAR_ABBR_MONTH_DAY, which is  &quot;yMMMd&quot;,
    116  * in  en_US, if the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2
    117  * is &quot;year&quot;, the date interval pattern  is &quot;MMM d, yyyy - MMM d, yyyy&quot;,
    118  * such as &quot;Jan 10, 2007 - Jan 10, 2008&quot;.
    119  * If the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2 is &quot;month&quot;,
    120  * the date interval pattern is &quot;MMM d - MMM d, yyyy&quot;,
    121  * such as &quot;Jan 10 - Feb 10, 2007&quot;.
    122  * If the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2 is &quot;day&quot;,
    123  * the date interval pattern is &quot;MMM d-d, yyyy&quot;, such as &quot;Jan 10-20, 2007&quot;.
    124  *
    125  * For date skeleton, the interval patterns when year, or month, or date is
    126  * different are defined in resource files.
    127  * For time skeleton, the interval patterns when am/pm, or hour, or minute is
    128  * different are defined in resource files.
    129  *
    130  * <P>
    131  * If a skeleton is not found in a locale's DateIntervalInfo, which means
    132  * the interval patterns for the skeleton is not defined in resource file,
    133  * the interval pattern will falls back to the interval "fallback" pattern
    134  * defined in resource file.
    135  * If the interval "fallback" pattern is not defined, the default fall-back
    136  * is "{date0} - {data1}".
    137  *
    138  * <P>
    139  * For the combination of date and time,
    140  * The rule to generate interval patterns are:
    141  * <ol>
    142  * <li>
    143  *    when the year, month, or day differs, falls back to fall-back
    144  *    interval pattern, which mostly is the concatenate the two original
    145  *    expressions with a separator between,
    146  *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"
    147  *    to "Jan 11, 2007 10:10am" is
    148  *    "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am - Jan 11, 2007 10:10am"
    149  * </li>
    150  * <li>
    151  *    otherwise, present the date followed by the range expression
    152  *    for the time.
    153  *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"
    154  *    to "Jan 10, 2007 11:10am" is "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am - 11:10am"
    155  * </li>
    156  * </ol>
    157  *
    158  *
    159  * <P>
    160  * If two dates are the same, the interval pattern is the single date pattern.
    161  * For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007" to "Jan 10, 2007" is
    162  * "Jan 10, 2007".
    163  *
    164  * Or if the presenting fields between 2 dates have the exact same values,
    165  * the interval pattern is the  single date pattern.
    166  * For example, if user only requests year and month,
    167  * the interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007" to "Jan 20, 2007" is "Jan 2007".
    168  *
    169  * <P>
    170  * DateIntervalFormat needs the following information for correct
    171  * formatting: time zone, calendar type, pattern, date format symbols,
    172  * and date interval patterns.
    173  * It can be instantiated in 2 ways:
    174  * <ol>
    175  * <li>
    176  *    create an instance using default or given locale plus given skeleton.
    177  *    Users are encouraged to created date interval formatter this way and
    178  *    to use the pre-defined skeleton macros, such as
    179  *    UDAT_YEAR_NUM_MONTH, which consists the calendar fields and
    180  *    the format style.
    181  * </li>
    182  * <li>
    183  *    create an instance using default or given locale plus given skeleton
    184  *    plus a given DateIntervalInfo.
    185  *    This factory method is for powerful users who want to provide their own
    186  *    interval patterns.
    187  *    Locale provides the timezone, calendar, and format symbols information.
    188  *    Local plus skeleton provides full pattern information.
    189  *    DateIntervalInfo provides the date interval patterns.
    190  * </li>
    191  * </ol>
    192  *
    193  * <P>
    194  * For the calendar field pattern letter, such as G, y, M, d, a, h, H, m, s etc.
    195  * DateIntervalFormat uses the same syntax as that of
    196  * DateTime format.
    197  *
    198  * <P>
    199  * Code Sample: general usage
    200  * <pre>
    201  * \code
    202  *   // the date interval object which the DateIntervalFormat formats on
    203  *   // and parses into

    205  *   UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    206  *   DateIntervalFormat* dtIntervalFmt = DateIntervalFormat::createInstance(
    207  *                           UDAT_YEAR_MONTH_DAY,

    693      *    patterns based on date or time only.

    695      *    Interval patterns on both date and time are algorithm generated.

    697      *    For example, it has interval patterns on skeleton "dMy" and "hm",

    701      *    1) when the year, month, or day differs, concatenate the two original
    702      *    expressions with a separator between,
    703      *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"
    704      *    to "Jan 11, 2007 10:10am" is

    707      *    2) otherwise, present the date followed by the range expression
