Return Value: This method returns an array of the specified type which is the format attached to the ChoiceFormat object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getFormats() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getFormats() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
ChoiceFormat cf1
= new ChoiceFormat(
"4#wed| 5#thu | 6#fri | 7#sat" );
// getting format attached
// to the ChoiceFormat
// using getFormats() method
String[] format
= (String[])cf1.getFormats();
// display the result
System.out.print( "Format: "
+ Arrays.toString(format));
}
} |
Output:
Format: [wed, thu , fri , sat]
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getFormats() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing limit
double [] limit = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 };
// creating and initializing format
String[] format
= { "add" , "sub" ,
"multiply" , "divide" };
// creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
ChoiceFormat cf
= new ChoiceFormat(limit, format);
// getting format attached
// to the ChoiceFormat
// using getFormats() method
String[] format
= (String[])cf.getFormats();
// display the result
System.out.print( "Format: "
+ Arrays.toString(format));
}
} |
Output:
Format: [add, sub, multiply, divide]
