Subclasses implement * specific collation strategies. One subclass, * <code>RuleBasedCollator</code>, is currently provided and is applicable * to a wide set of languages. Other subclasses may be created to handle more * specialized needs. * <p> * Like other locale-sensitive classes, you can use the static factory method, * <code>createInstance</code>, to obtain the appropriate * <code>Collator</code> object for a given locale. You will only need to * look at the subclasses of <code>Collator</code> if you need to * understand the details of a particular collation strategy or if you need to * modify that strategy. * <p> * The following example shows how to compare two strings using the * <code>Collator</code> for the default locale. * <blockquote> * <pre> * \code * // Compare two strings in the default locale * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR; * Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success); * if (myCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") < 0) * cout << "abc is less than ABC" << endl; * else * cout << "abc is greater than or equal to ABC" << endl; * \endcode * </pre> * </blockquote> * <p> * You can set a <code>Collator</code>'s <em>strength</em> property to * determine the level of difference considered significant in comparisons. * Five strengths are provided: <code>PRIMARY</code>, <code>SECONDARY</code>, * <code>TERTIARY</code>, <code>QUATERNARY</code> and <code>IDENTICAL</code>. The exact assignment of * strengths to language features is locale dependant. For example, in Czech, * "e" and "f" are considered primary differences, while "e" and "\u00EA" are * secondary differences, "e" and "E" are tertiary differences and "e" and "e" * are identical. The following shows how both case and accents could be * ignored for US English. * <blockquote> * <pre> * \code * //Get the Collator for US English and set its strength to PRIMARY * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR; * Collator* usCollator = * Collator::createInstance(Locale::US, success); * usCollator->setStrength(Collator::PRIMARY); * if (usCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") == 0) * cout << * "'abc' and 'ABC' strings are equivalent with strength PRIMARY" << * endl; * \endcode * </pre> * </blockquote> * <p> * For comparing strings exactly once, the <code>compare</code> method * provides the best performance. When sorting a list of strings however, it * is generally necessary to compare each string multiple times. In this case, * sort keys provide better performance. The <code>getSortKey</code> methods * convert a string to a series of bytes that can be compared bitwise against * other sort keys using <code>strcmp()</code>. Sort keys are written as * zero-terminated byte strings. They consist of several substrings, one for * each collation strength level, that are delimited by 0x01 bytes. * If the string code points are appended for UCOL_IDENTICAL, then they are * processed for correct code point order comparison and may contain 0x01 * bytes but not zero bytes. * </p> * <p> * An older set of APIs returns a <code>CollationKey</code> object that wraps * the sort key bytes instead of returning the bytes themselves. * Its use is deprecated, but it is still available for compatibility with * Java. * </p> * <p> * <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale, * and CollationStrength settings will return different sort * orders for the same set of strings. Locales have specific collation rules, * and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences are taken into * account, for example, will result in a different sorting order for same * strings. * </p> * @see RuleBasedCollator * @see CollationKey * @see CollationElementIterator * @see Locale * @see Normalizer * @version 2.0 11/15/01 */ class U_I18N_API Collator : public UObject { public: // Collator public enums ----------------------------------------------- /** * Base letter represents a primary difference.
