## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ currency()

static CurrencyPrecision icu::number::Precision::currency | ( | UCurrencyUsage | currencyUsage | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded and padded according to the rules for the currency unit.

The most common rounding precision settings for currencies include `Precision::fixedFraction(2)`, `Precision::integer()`, and `Precision::increment(0.05)` for cash transactions ("nickel rounding").

The exact rounding details will be resolved at runtime based on the currency unit specified in the NumberFormatter chain. To round according to the rules for one currency while displaying the symbol for another currency, the withCurrency() method can be called on the return value of this method.

Parameters

  currencyUsage | Either STANDARD (for digital transactions) or CASH (for transactions where the rounding increment may be limited by the available denominations of cash or coins).

Returns
  A CurrencyPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ fixedFraction()

static FractionPrecision icu::number::Precision::fixedFraction | ( | int32_t | minMaxFractionPlaces | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of fraction places (numerals after the decimal separator).

Additionally, pad with zeros to ensure that this number of places are always shown.

Example output with minMaxFractionPlaces = 3:

87,650.000
8,765.000
876.500
87.650
8.765
0.876
0.088
0.009
0.000 (zero)

This method is equivalent to minMaxFraction with both arguments equal.

Parameters

  minMaxFractionPlaces | The minimum and maximum number of numerals to display after the decimal separator (rounding if too long or padding with zeros if too short).

Returns
  A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ fixedSignificantDigits()

static SignificantDigitsPrecision icu::number::Precision::fixedSignificantDigits | ( | int32_t | minMaxSignificantDigits | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of significant digits or significant figures.

Additionally, pad with zeros to ensure that this number of significant digits/figures are always shown.

This method is equivalent to minMaxSignificantDigits with both arguments equal.

Parameters

  minMaxSignificantDigits | The minimum and maximum number of significant digits to display (rounding if too long or padding with zeros if too short).

Returns
  A precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 62

## ◆ increment()

static IncrementPrecision icu::number::Precision::increment | ( | double | roundingIncrement | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to the closest multiple of a certain rounding increment.

For example, if the rounding increment is 0.5, then round 1.2 to 1 and round 1.3 to 1.5.

In order to ensure that numbers are padded to the appropriate number of fraction places, call withMinFraction() on the return value of this method. For example, to round to the nearest 0.5 and always display 2 numerals after the decimal separator (to display 1.2 as "1.00" and 1.3 as "1.50"), you can run:

    Precision::increment(0.5).withMinFraction(2)

Parameters

  roundingIncrement | The increment to which to round numbers.

Returns
  A precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ integer()

static FractionPrecision icu::number::Precision::integer | ( |  | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to the nearest integer.

Returns
  A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ maxFraction()

static FractionPrecision icu::number::Precision::maxFraction | ( | int32_t | maxFractionPlaces | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of fraction places (numerals after the decimal separator).

Unlike the other fraction rounding strategies, this strategy does not pad zeros to the end of the number.

Parameters

  maxFractionPlaces | The maximum number of numerals to display after the decimal mark (rounding if necessary).

Returns
  A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ maxSignificantDigits()

static SignificantDigitsPrecision icu::number::Precision::maxSignificantDigits | ( | int32_t | maxSignificantDigits | ) |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of significant digits/figures.

Parameters

  maxSignificantDigits | The maximum number of significant digits to display (rounding if too long).

Returns
  A precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 62

## ◆ minFraction()

static FractionPrecision icu::number::Precision::minFraction | ( | int32_t | minFractionPlaces | ) |
| static

Always show at least a certain number of fraction places after the decimal separator, padding with zeros if necessary.

Do not perform rounding (display numbers to their full precision).

NOTE: If you are formatting doubles, see the performance note in unlimited.

Parameters

  minFractionPlaces | The minimum number of numerals to display after the decimal separator (padding with zeros if necessary).

Returns
  A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ minMaxFraction()

static FractionPrecision icu::number::Precision::minMaxFraction | ( | int32_t | minFractionPlaces,
|  | int32_t | maxFractionPlaces
| ) |  |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of fraction places (numerals after the decimal separator); in addition, always show at least a certain number of places after the decimal separator, padding with zeros if necessary.

Parameters

  minFractionPlaces | The minimum number of numerals to display after the decimal separator (padding with zeros if necessary).
  maxFractionPlaces | The maximum number of numerals to display after the decimal separator (rounding if necessary).

Returns
  A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 60

## ◆ minMaxSignificantDigits()

static SignificantDigitsPrecision icu::number::Precision::minMaxSignificantDigits | ( | int32_t | minSignificantDigits,
|  | int32_t | maxSignificantDigits
| ) |  |
| static

Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of significant digits/figures; in addition, always show at least a certain number of significant digits, padding with zeros if necessary.

Parameters

  minSignificantDigits | The minimum number of significant digits to display (padding with zeros if necessary).
  maxSignificantDigits | The maximum number of significant digits to display (rounding if necessary).

Returns
  A precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 62

## ◆ minSignificantDigits()

static SignificantDigitsPrecision icu::number::Precision::minSignificantDigits | ( | int32_t | minSignificantDigits | ) |
| static

Always show at least a certain number of significant digits/figures, padding with zeros if necessary.

Do not perform rounding (display numbers to their full precision).

NOTE: If you are formatting doubles, see the performance note in unlimited.

Parameters

  minSignificantDigits | The minimum number of significant digits to display (padding with zeros if too short).

Returns
  A precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.

Stable:
  ICU 62

## ◆ unlimited()

static Precision icu::number::Precision::unlimited | ( |  | ) |
| static

Show all available digits to full precision.

NOTE: When formatting a double, this method, along with minFraction and minSignificantDigits, will trigger complex algorithm similar to Dragon4 to determine the low-order digits and the number of digits to display based on the value of the double. If the number of fraction places or significant digits can be bounded, consider using maxFraction or maxSignificantDigits instead to maximize performance.
