51/**
52 * DateFormat is an abstract class for a family of classes that convert dates and
53 * times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a
54 * language-independent manner. Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds
55 * since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting
56 * from text to millis is known as "parsing."  We currently define only one concrete
57 * subclass of DateFormat: SimpleDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal
58 * date formatting and parsing actions.
59 * <P>
60 * DateFormat helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can
61 * be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the
62 * week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
63 * <P>
64 * To format a date for the current Locale, use one of the static factory
65 * methods:
66 * <pre>
67 * \code
68 *      DateFormat* dfmt = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
69 *      UDate myDate = Calendar::getNow();
70 *      UnicodeString myString;
71 *      myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );
72 * \endcode
73 * </pre>
74 * If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the
75 * format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the
76 * information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
77 * <pre>
78 * \code
79 *      DateFormat* df = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
80 *      UnicodeString myString;
81 *      UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 }; // test values
82 *      for (int32_t i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
83 *          myString.remove();
84 *          cout << df->format( myDateArr[i], myString ) << endl;
85 *      }
86 * \endcode
87 * </pre>
88 * To get specific fields of a date, you can use UFieldPosition to
89 * get specific fields.
90 * <pre>
91 * \code
92 *      DateFormat* dfmt = DateFormat::createDateInstance();
93 *      FieldPosition pos(DateFormat::YEAR_FIELD);
94 *      UnicodeString myString;
95 *      myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );
96 *      cout << myString << endl;
97 *      cout << pos.getBeginIndex() << "," << pos. getEndIndex() << endl;
98 * \endcode
99 * </pre>
100 * To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the call to
101 * createDateInstance().
102 * <pre>
103 * \code
104 *       DateFormat* df =
105 *           DateFormat::createDateInstance( DateFormat::SHORT, Locale::getFrance());
106 * \endcode
107 * </pre>
108 * You can use a DateFormat to parse also.
109 * <pre>
110 * \code
111 *       UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
112 *       UDate myDate = df->parse(myString, status);
113 * \endcode
114 * </pre>
115 * Use createDateInstance() to produce the normal date format for that country.
116 * There are other static factory methods available. Use createTimeInstance()
117 * to produce the normal time format for that country. Use createDateTimeInstance()
118 * to produce a DateFormat that formats both date and time. You can pass in
119 * different options to these factory methods to control the length of the
120 * result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL. The exact result depends on the
121 * locale, but generally:
122 * <ul type=round>
123 *   <li>   SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12/13/52 or 3:30pm
124 *   <li>   MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
125 *   <li>   LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
126 *   <li>   FULL is pretty completely specified, such as
127 *          Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.
128 * </ul>
129 * You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish. If you want even
130 * more control over the format or parsing, (or want to give your users more
131 * control), you can try casting the DateFormat you get from the factory methods
132 * to a SimpleDateFormat. This will work for the majority of countries; just
133 * remember to chck getDynamicClassID() before carrying out the cast.
134 * <P>
135 * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and
136 * FieldPosition to allow you to
137 * <ul type=round>
138 *   <li>   Progressively parse through pieces of a string.
139 *   <li>   Align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
140 *          on the screen.
141 * </ul>
142 *
143 * <p><em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write
144 * subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be
145 * guaranteed to work stably from release to release.
