/**
 *
 * Abstract base class for all number formats.  Provides interface for
 * formatting and parsing a number.  Also provides methods for
 * determining which locales have number formats, and what their names
 * are.
 * <P>
 * NumberFormat helps you to format and parse numbers for any locale.
 * Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions
 * for decimal points, thousands-separators, or even the particular
 * decimal digits used, or whether the number format is even decimal.
 * <P>
 * To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the static
 * factory methods:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    double myNumber = 7.0;
 *    UnicodeString myString;
 *    UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *    NumberFormat* nf = NumberFormat::createInstance(success)
 *    nf->format(myNumber, myString);
 *    cout << " Example 1: " << myString << endl;
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get
 * the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't
 * have to fetch the information about the local language and country
 * conventions multiple times.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *     UnicodeString myString;
 *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( success );
 *     int32_t a[] = { 123, 3333, -1234567 };
 *     const int32_t a_len = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
 *     myString.remove();
 *     for (int32_t i = 0; i < a_len; i++) {
 *         nf->format(a[i], myString);
 *         myString += " ; ";
 *     }
 *     cout << " Example 2: " << myString << endl;
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the
 * call to createInstance().
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *     nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( Locale::FRENCH, success );
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * You can use a NumberFormat to parse also.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    UErrorCode success;
 *    Formattable result(-999);  // initialized with error code
 *    nf->parse(myString, result, success);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Use createInstance to get the normal number format for that country.
 * There are other static factory methods available.  Use getCurrency
 * to get the currency number format for that country.  Use getPercent
 * to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a
 * fraction from 0.53 is displayed as 53%.
 * <P>
 * You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as
 * getMinimumFractionDigits.  If you want even more control over the
 * format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can
 * try casting the NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a
 * DecimalNumberFormat. This will work for the vast majority of
 * countries; just remember to put it in a try block in case you
 * encounter an unusual one.
 * <P>
 * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with
 * ParsePosition and FieldPosition to allow you to:
 * <ul type=round>
 *   <li>(a) progressively parse through pieces of a string.
 *   <li>(b) align the decimal point and other areas.
 * </ul>
 * For example, you can align numbers in two ways.
 * <P>
 * If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment, you
 * can pass the FieldPosition in your format call, with field =
 * INTEGER_FIELD. On output, getEndIndex will be set to the offset
 * between the last character of the integer and the decimal. Add
 * (desiredSpaceCount - getEndIndex) spaces at the front of the
 * string.
 * <P>
 * If you are using proportional fonts, instead of padding with
 * spaces, measure the width of the string in pixels from the start to
 * getEndIndex.  Then move the pen by (desiredPixelWidth -
 * widthToAlignmentPoint) before drawing the text.  It also works
 * where there is no decimal, but possibly additional characters at
 * the end, e.g. with parentheses in negative numbers: "(12)" for -12.
 * <p>
 * <em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write
 * subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be
 * guaranteed to work stably from release to release.
