The setBeginIndex() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to set the index of the beginning character of the FieldPosition object.

Parameter: This method takes the integer value index for the new index of the starting character of the FieldPosition object.
Return Value: This method has nothing to return.
Below are the examples to illustrate the setBeginIndex() method:
Example 1: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// setBeginIndex() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new FieldPosition Object
            FieldPosition pos
                = new FieldPosition(DateFormat.Field.AM_PM);
 
            // setting begin index of FieldPosition Object
            // using setBeginIndex() method
            pos.setBeginIndex(5);
 
            // getting begin index of FieldPosition Object
            int i = pos.getBeginIndex();
 
            // display result
            System.out.println("begin index :- " + i);
        }
 
        catch (ClassCastException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

            // setting begin index of FieldPosition Object
            // using setBeginIndex() method
            pos.setBeginIndex(10);
 
            // getting begin index of FieldPosition Object
            int i = pos.getBeginIndex();
 
            // display result
            System.out.println("begin index :- " + i);
        }
