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

    726      *    patterns based on date or time only.

    734      *    1) when the year, month, or day differs, concatenate the two original
    735      *    expressions with a separator between,
    736      *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"

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

    748      *    different between 2 dates.
