The current() method of java.text.BreakIterator class is used to get the index of recent text boundary in the line of words. It provides the offset of the text which is currently pointed by the BreakIterator.
Syntax:
public abstract int current()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method provides the index of recent text boundary.
Below are the examples to illustrate the current() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate current() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing integer with zero
int current = 0 , last = 0 ;
// creating and initializing BreakIterator
BreakIterator wb
= BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
// setting text for BreakIterator
wb.setText( "Code Geeks" );
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"current position "
+ "before calling next(): "
+ current);
// calling next method
last = wb.next();
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"\ncurrent position after"
+ " calling 1st next(): "
+ current);
// calling next method
last = wb.next();
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"\ncurrent position after"
+ " calling 2nd next(): "
+ current);
}
} |
Output:
current position before calling next(): 0 current position after calling 1st next(): 4 current position after calling 2nd next(): 6
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate current() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing integer with zero
int current = 0 , last = 0 ;
// creating and initializing BreakIterator
BreakIterator wb
= BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
// setting text for BreakIterator
wb.setText( "GeeksForGeeks" );
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"current position "
+ "before calling next(): "
+ current);
// calling next method
last = wb.next();
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"\ncurrent position after"
+ " calling 1st next(): "
+ current);
// calling next method
last = wb.next();
// getting the current text boundary
current = wb.current();
// display the result
System.out.println(
"\ncurrent position after"
+ " calling 2nd next(): "
+ current);
}
} |
Output:
current position before calling next(): 0 current position after calling 1st next(): 13 current position after calling 2nd next(): 13
