CollationElementIterator class is used as an iterator
* to walk through each character of an international string. Use the iterator
* to return the ordering priority of the positioned character. The ordering
* priority of a character, which we refer to as a key, defines how a character
* is collated in the given collation object.
*
* * For example, consider the following in Spanish: *
*
* "ca" → the first key is key('c') and second key is key('a').
* "cha" → the first key is key('ch') and second key is key('a').
*
*
* And in German,
*
*
* "\u00e4b" → the first key is key('a'), the second key is key('e'), and
* the third key is key('b').
*
*
* The key of a character is an integer composed of primary order(short),
* secondary order(byte), and tertiary order(byte). Java strictly defines
* the size and signedness of its primitive data types. Therefore, the static
* functions primaryOrder, secondaryOrder, and
* tertiaryOrder return int, short,
* and short respectively to ensure the correctness of the key
* value.
*
* * Example of the iterator usage, *
*
*
* String testString = "This is a test";
* Collator col = Collator.getInstance();
* if (col instanceof RuleBasedCollator) {
* RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)col;
* CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator = ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
* int primaryOrder = CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(collationElementIterator.next());
* :
* }
*
*
*
*
* CollationElementIterator.next returns the collation order
* of the next character. A collation order consists of primary order,
* secondary order and tertiary order. The data type of the collation
* order is int. The first 16 bits of a collation order
* is its primary order; the next 8 bits is the secondary order and the
* last 8 bits is the tertiary order.
*
*
Note: CollationElementIterator is a part of
* RuleBasedCollator implementation. It is only usable
* with RuleBasedCollator instances.
