     51 /**
     52  * DateFormat is an abstract class for a family of classes that convert dates and
     53  * times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a
     54  * language-independent manner. Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds
     55  * since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting
     56  * from text to millis is known as "parsing."  We currently define only one concrete
     57  * subclass of DateFormat: SimpleDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal
     58  * date formatting and parsing actions.
     59  * <P>
     60  * DateFormat helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can
     61  * be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the
     62  * week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
     63  * <P>
     64  * To format a date for the current Locale, use one of the static factory
     65  * methods:
     66  * <pre>
     67  * \code
     68  *      DateFormat* dfmt = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
     69  *      UDate myDate = Calendar::getNow();
     70  *      UnicodeString myString;
     71  *      myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );
     72  * \endcode
     73  * </pre>
     74  * If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the
     75  * format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the
     76  * information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
     77  * <pre>
     78  * \code
     79  *      DateFormat* df = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
     80  *      UnicodeString myString;
     81  *      UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 }; // test values
     82  *      for (int32_t i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
     83  *          myString.remove();
     84  *          cout << df->format( myDateArr[i], myString ) << endl;
     85  *      }
     86  * \endcode
     87  * </pre>
     88  * To get specific fields of a date, you can use UFieldPosition to
     89  * get specific fields.
     90  * <pre>
     91  * \code
     92  *      DateFormat* dfmt = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
     93  *      FieldPosition pos(DateFormat::YEAR_FIELD);
     94  *      UnicodeString myString;
     95  *      myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );
     96  *      cout << myString << endl;
     97  *      cout << pos.getBeginIndex() << "," << pos. getEndIndex() << endl;
     98  * \endcode
     99  * </pre>
    100  * To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the call to
    101  * createDateInstance().
    102  * <pre>
    103  * \code
    104  *       DateFormat* df =
    105  *           DateFormat::createDateInstance( DateFormat::SHORT, Locale::getFrance());
    106  * \endcode
    107  * </pre>
    108  * You can use a DateFormat to parse also.
    109  * <pre>
    110  * \code
    111  *       UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    112  *       UDate myDate = df->parse(myString, status);
    113  * \endcode
    114  * </pre>
    115  * Use createDateInstance() to produce the normal date format for that country.
    116  * There are other static factory methods available. Use createTimeInstance()
    117  * to produce the normal time format for that country. Use createDateTimeInstance()
    118  * to produce a DateFormat that formats both date and time. You can pass in
    119  * different options to these factory methods to control the length of the
    120  * result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL. The exact result depends on the
    121  * locale, but generally:
    122  * <ul type=round>
    123  *   <li>   SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12/13/52 or 3:30pm
    124  *   <li>   MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
    125  *   <li>   LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
    126  *   <li>   FULL is pretty completely specified, such as
    127  *          Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
    128  * </ul>
    129  * You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish. If you want even
    130  * more control over the format or parsing, (or want to give your users more
    131  * control), you can try casting the DateFormat you get from the factory methods
    132  * to a SimpleDateFormat. This will work for the majority of countries; just
    133  * remember to chck getDynamicClassID() before carrying out the cast.
    134  * <P>
    135  * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and
    136  * FieldPosition to allow you to
    137  * <ul type=round>
    138  *   <li>   Progressively parse through pieces of a string.
    139  *   <li>   Align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
    140  *          on the screen.
    141  * </ul>
    142  *
    143  * <p><em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write
    144  * subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be
    145  * guaranteed to work stably from release to release.
