The getBeginIndex() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to get the index of the beginning character of the FieldPosition object.
Syntax:
public int getBeginIndex()
Parameter: This method does not accept any argument as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the index of the beginning character of the FieldPosition object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getBeginIndex() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getBeginIndex() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing /// new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos = new FieldPosition( DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); // getting begin index of FieldPosition Object // using getBeginIndex() method int i = pos.getBeginIndex(); // display result System.out.println("begin index :- " + i); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
begin index :- 0
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getBeginIndex() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing // new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos = new FieldPosition( DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); // setting begin index pos.setBeginIndex(5); // getting begin index of FieldPosition Object // using getBeginIndex() method int i = pos.getBeginIndex(); // display result System.out.println("begin index :- " + i); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
begin index :- 5
