/**
 *
 * 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.
 * \headerfile unicode/numfmt.h "unicode/numfmt.h"
 * <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:
 * \code
 *    #include <iostream>
 *    #include "unicode/numfmt.h"
 *    #include "unicode/unistr.h"
 *    #include "unicode/ustream.h"
 *    using namespace std;
 *    
 *    int main() {
 *        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
 * Note that there are additional factory methods within subclasses of
 * NumberFormat.
 * <P>
 * 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.
 * \code
 *     UnicodeString myString;
 *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     NumberFormat *nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( success );
 *     for (int32_t number: {123, 3333, -1234567}) {
 *         nf->format(number, myString);
 *         myString += "; ";
 *     }
 *     cout << " Example 2: " << myString << endl;
 * \endcode
 * To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the
 * call to \c createInstance().
 * \code
 *     nf = NumberFormat::createInstance(Locale::getFrench(), success);
 * \endcode
 * You can use a \c NumberFormat to parse also.
 * \code
 *    UErrorCode success;
 *    Formattable result(-999);  // initialized with error code
 *    nf->parse(myString, result, success);
 * \endcode
 * Use \c createInstance() to get the normal number format for a \c Locale.
 * There are other static factory methods available.  Use \c createCurrencyInstance()
 * to get the currency number format for that country.  Use \c createPercentInstance()
 * to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a
 * fraction from 0.53 is displayed as 53%.
 * <P>
 * The type of number formatting can be specified by passing a 'style' parameter to \c createInstance().
 * For example, use\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_DECIMAL, errorCode) to get the normal number format,\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_PERCENT, errorCode) to get a format for displaying percentage,\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_SCIENTIFIC, errorCode) to get a format for displaying scientific number,\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY, errorCode) to get the currency number format,
 * in which the currency is represented by its symbol, for example, "$3.00".\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY_ISO, errorCode)  to get the currency number format,
 * in which the currency is represented by its ISO code, for example "USD3.00".\n
 * \c createInstance(locale, UNUM_CURRENCY_PLURAL, errorCode) to get the currency number format,
 * in which the currency is represented by its full name in plural format,
 * for example, "3.00 US dollars" or "1.00 US dollar".
 * <P>
 * You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as
 * \c getMinimumFractionDigits().  If you want even more control over the
 * format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can
 * try dynamic_casting the \c NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a
 * \c DecimalFormat. This will work for the vast majority of
 * countries; just remember to test for NULL in case you
 * encounter an unusual one.
 * <P>
 * You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with
 * \c ParsePosition and \c 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 \c FieldPosition in your format call, with field =
 * \c UNUM_INTEGER_FIELD. On output, \c 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.
