The clone() method of java.text.RuleBasedCollator class is used to get the copy of this Collator object.
Syntax:
public Object clone()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the copy of this Collator object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the clone() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // clone() 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);
// getting copy of this object
// using clone() method
Object obj = col.clone();
// display result
System.out.println("equivalent object :- "
+ obj);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
+ e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
+ e);
}
}
} |
Output:
equivalent object :- java.text.RuleBasedCollator@7033e09a
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // clone() 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 < c & a < b";
// Creating and initializing
// new RuleBasedCollator Object
RuleBasedCollator col
= new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
// getting copy of this object
// using clone() method
Object obj = col.clone();
// display result
System.out.println("equivalent object :- "
+ obj);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
+ e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
+ e);
}
}
} |
Output:
equivalent object :- java.text.RuleBasedCollator@78930901
