The getInstance() method of java.text.Collator class is used to get the new collator object having the current default locale.
Syntax:
public static Collator getInstance()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: it provides the new collator object having the current default locale.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getInstance() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getInstance() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing new simple rule String simple = "< a< b< c< d"; // Creating and initializing // new RuleBasedCollator Object RuleBasedCollator col_1 = new RuleBasedCollator(simple); // Creating and initializing Collator Object // using getInstance() method Collator col_2 = Collator.getInstance(); // display result if (col_1.equals(col_2)) System.out.println(col_1 + " is equal to " + col_2); else System.out.println(col_1 + " is not equal to " + col_2); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (ParseException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@5eb2e1c2 is not equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getInstance() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing Collator Object Collator col_1 = Collator.getInstance(); // Creating and initializing Collator Object Collator col_2 = Collator.getInstance(); // display result if (col_1.equals(col_2)) System.out.println( col_1 + " is equal to " + col_2); else System.out.println( col_1 + " is not equal to " + col_2); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6 is equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
