The getStrength() method of java.text.Collator class is used to get the strength property of Collator object which will help that object during comparison.
Syntax:
public int getStrength()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the strength property of the Collator object which will help that object during comparison.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getStrength() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getStrength() 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 = new RuleBasedCollator(simple); // setting strength property // for the Collator object col.setStrength(Collator.IDENTICAL); // getting strength property // using getStrength() method int strength = col.getStrength(); // display result if (strength == 0) System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- PRIMARY."); else if (strength == 1) System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- SECONDARY."); else if (strength == 2) System.out.println( "current strength" + " property :- TERTIARY."); else System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- IDENTICAL."); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (ParseException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
current strength property :- IDENTICAL.
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getStrength() 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 = Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK); // getting strength property // using getStrength() method int strength = col.getStrength(); // display result if (strength == 0) System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- PRIMARY."); else if (strength == 1) System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- SECONDARY."); else if (strength == 2) System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- TERTIARY."); else System.out.println( "current strength " + "property :- IDENTICAL."); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
current strength property :- TERTIARY.
