19 * \brief C API: Plural rules, select plural keywords for numeric values.
20 *
21 * A UPluralRules object defines rules for mapping non-negative numeric
22 * values onto a small set of keywords. Rules are constructed from a text
23 * description, consisting of a series of keywords and conditions.
24 * The uplrules_select function examines each condition in order and
25 * returns the keyword for the first condition that matches the number.
26 * If none match, the default rule(other) is returned.
27 *
28 * For more information, see the LDML spec, C.11 Language Plural Rules:
29 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Language_Plural_Rules
30 *
31 * Keywords: ICU locale data has 6 predefined values -
32 * 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and 'other'. Callers need to check
33 * the value of keyword returned by the uplrules_select function.
34 *
35 * These are based on CLDR <i>Language Plural Rules</i>. For these
36 * predefined rules, see the CLDR page at
37 * http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
