The setStrength() method of java.text.Collator class is used to set the strength property of Collator object which will help that object during comparison of two string.
Syntax:
public void setStrength(int newStrength)
Parameter: This method accepts the strength property of Collator object as parameter which will help this object during the comparison.
Return Value: This method has nothing to return.
Below are the examples to illustrate the setStrength() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // setStrength() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
// Creating and initializing new simple rule
String simple = "< a < b < c < d" ;
// Creating and initializing
// new RuleBasedCollator Object
RuleBasedCollator col
= new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
// setting strength property for the Collator object
// using setStrength() method
col.setStrength(Collator.IDENTICAL);
// getting strength property
int strength = col.getStrength();
// display result
if (strength == 0 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- PRIMARY." );
else if (strength == 1 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- SECONDARY." );
else if (strength == 2 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- TERTIARY." );
else
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- IDENTICAL." );
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
current strength property :- IDENTICAL.
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // setStrength() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
// Creating and initializing
// Collator Object
Collator col
= Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK);
// setting strength property
// for the Collator object
// using setStrength() method
col.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY);
// getting strength property
int strength = col.getStrength();
// display result
if (strength == 0 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- PRIMARY." );
else if (strength == 1 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- SECONDARY." );
else if (strength == 2 )
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- TERTIARY." );
else
System.out.println(
"current strength"
+ " property :- IDENTICAL." );
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
current strength property :- PRIMARY.
