System.out.println( "Variant: "
+ first_locale.getVariant());
}
} |
Output:
First Locale: nu_NO_NY Variant: NY
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate getVariant() method import java.util.*;
public class Locale_Demo {

Locale first_locale
= new Locale( "ar" , "SA" );
// Displaying first locale
System.out.println( "First Locale: "
