73c04bcf 44 *
b75a7d8f
A
45 * Collation keys are generated by the Collator class. Use the CollationKey objects
46 * instead of Collator to compare strings multiple times. A CollationKey
47 * preprocesses the comparison information from the Collator object to
48 * make the comparison faster. If you are not going to comparing strings
49 * multiple times, then using the Collator object is generally faster,
50 * since it only processes as much of the string as needed to make a
51 * comparison.
52 * <p> For example (with strength == tertiary)
53 * <p>When comparing "Abernathy" to "Baggins-Smythworthy", Collator
54 * only needs to process a couple of characters, while a comparison
55 * with CollationKeys will process all of the characters. On the other hand,
56 * if you are doing a sort of a number of fields, it is much faster to use
57 * CollationKeys, since you will be comparing strings multiple times.
58 * <p>Typical use of CollationKeys are in databases, where you store a CollationKey
59 * in a hidden field, and use it for sorting or indexing.
60 *
61 * <p>Example of use:
62 * <pre>
63 * \code
64 * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
65 * Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
66 * CollationKey* keys = new CollationKey [3];
67 * myCollator->getCollationKey("Tom", keys[0], success );
68 * myCollator->getCollationKey("Dick", keys[1], success );
69 * myCollator->getCollationKey("Harry", keys[2], success );
70 *
71 * // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way:
72 * CollationKey tmp;
73 * if(keys[0].compareTo( keys[1] ) > 0 ) {
74 * tmp = keys[0]; keys[0] = keys[1]; keys[1] = tmp;
75 * }
76 * //...
77 * \endcode
78 * </pre>
79 * <p>Because Collator::compare()'s algorithm is complex, it is faster to sort
80 * long lists of words by retrieving collation keys with Collator::getCollationKey().
81 * You can then cache the collation keys and compare them using CollationKey::compareTo().
82 * <p>
83 * <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale,
84 * CollationStrength and DecompositionMode settings will return different
85 * CollationKeys for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
86 * collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
87 * are taken into account, for example, will result in different CollationKeys
88 * for same strings.
