CollationElementIterator reset() method in Java with Examples

The reset() method of java.text.CollationElementIterator class is used to reset the cursor of the iterator to the beginning of the input string.

Syntax: 

public void reset()

Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method has nothing to return.

Below is the examples to illustrate the reset() method:

Example 1:  

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing testString
        String test = "abcd";
 
        // creating and initializing
        // RuleBasedCollator object
        RuleBasedCollator rbc
            = (RuleBasedCollator)(Collator.getInstance());
 
        // creating and initializing
        // CollationElementIterator
        CollationElementIterator cel
            = rbc.getCollationElementIterator(test);
 
        // setting cursor of iterator
        cel.setOffset(2);
        cel.next();
 
        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "current offset before calling reset() "
            + cel.getOffset());
 
        // reset the cursor to the
        // beginning of the string
        // using reset() method
        cel.reset();
 
        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "\ncurrent offset after calling reset() "
            + cel.getOffset());
    }
}


Output: 

current offset before calling reset() 3

current offset after calling reset() 0

 

Example 2: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing
        // testString
        String test = "abcd";
 
        // creating and initializing
        // RuleBasedCollator object
        RuleBasedCollator rbc
            = (RuleBasedCollator)(Collator.getInstance());
 
        // creating and initializing
        // CollationElementIterator
        CollationElementIterator cel
            = rbc.getCollationElementIterator(test);
 
        // setting cursor of iterator
        cel.setOffset(3);
        cel.previous();
 
        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "current offset before calling reset() "
            + cel.getOffset());
 
        // reset the cursor to the beginning of the string
        // using reset() method
        cel.reset();
 
        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "\ncurrent offset after calling reset() "
            + cel.getOffset());
    }
}


Output: 

current offset before calling reset() 2

current offset after calling reset() 0
