The getCollationElementIterator() method of java.text.RuleBasedCollator class is used to get the object of collation element iterator for the given string.
Syntax:
public CollationElementIterator getCollationElementIterator(String source)
Parameter: This method accepts the string object as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the object of collation element iterator for the given string.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getCollationElementIterator() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getCollationElementIterator() 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);
// Creating and initializing
// the String Object
String str = "ABABCC";
// getting CollationElementIterator Object
// for the given String
// using getCollationElementIterator() method
CollationElementIterator key
= col.getCollationElementIterator(str);
// display result
System.out.println("CollationElementIterator is : "
+ key);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
CollationElementIterator is : java.text.CollationElementIterator@7d4991ad
Example 2:
