class TRealFormat;
Defines the character representation of a real number type such as a TReal or a TRealX
.
An object of this type is used by functions that convert real values to character format, for example, the descriptor functions: Num(), AppendNum() and Format().
There are three constructors for constructing a suitable object. The data members of the class, however, are public and can be explicitly set after construction.
Defined in TRealFormat
:
TRealFormat()
, TRealFormat()
, TRealFormat()
, iPlaces
, iPoint
, iTriLen
, iTriad
, iType
, iWidth
IMPORT_C TRealFormat();
Default constructor.
The public data members of the constructed object are assigned the following values:
TRealFormat::iType
- set to KRealFormatGeneral
TRealFormat::iWidth
- set to KDefaultRealWidth
TRealFormat::iPlaces
- set to 0
TRealFormat::iPoint
- set to the decimal separator character defined in a TLocale
object and returned by the DecimalSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriad
- set to the character used to delimit groups of three digits in the integer portion of a number; the character is defined
in a TLocale
object and returned by the ThousandsSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriLen
- set to 1
IMPORT_C TRealFormat(TInt aWidth);
Constructs the object taking the width of the character representation.
The remaining public data members of the constructed object are assigned the following values:
TRealFormat::iType
- set to KRealFormatGeneral
TRealFormat::iWidth
- set to the aWidth argument
TRealFormat::iPlaces
- set to 0
TRealFormat::iPoint
- set to the decimal separator character defined in a TLocale
object and returned by the DecimalSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriad
- set to the character used to delimit groups of three digits in the integer portion of a number; the character is defined
in a TLocale
object and returned by the ThousandsSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriLen
- set to 1
|
IMPORT_C TRealFormat(TInt aWidth, TInt aDecimalPlaces);
Constructs the object taking the width of the character representation and a value which is interpreted as the number of digits to follow the decimal point.
The remaining public data members of the constructed object are assigned the following values:
TRealFormat::iType
- set to KRealFormatFixed
TRealFormat::iWidth
- set to the aWidth argument
TRealFormat::iPlaces
- set to the aDecimals argument
TRealFormat::iPoint
- set to the decimal separator character defined in a TLocale
object and returned by the DecimalSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriad
- set to the character used to delimit groups of three digits in the integer portion of a number; the character is defined
in a TLocale
object and returned by the ThousandsSeparator() member function of that class.
TRealFormat::iTriLen
- set to 1
Note that if the iType data member is changed after construction, aDecimalPlaces may be interpreted as the number of significant digits. For more information, see KRealFormatFixed and the other format types, and KExtraSpaceForSign and the other format flags.

TInt iType;
Governs the format of the character representation of the real number.
This is set to one of the defined format types.
One or more of the defined format flags can subsequently be ORed into this member.
KRealFormatFixed
KRealFormatExponent
KRealFormatGeneral
KRealFormatNoExponent
KRealFormatCalculator
KExtraSpaceForSign
KAllowThreeDigitExp
KDoNotUseTriads
KGeneralLimit
KUseSigFigs
TInt iPlaces;
Defines either the number of characters to be used to represent the decimal portion of the number, or the maximum number of significant digits in the character representation of the number.
The interpretation depends on the chosen format as defined by iType.
TChar iPoint;
Defines the character to be used to separate the integer portion of a number representation from its decimal portion.
In general, the character used for this purpose is a matter of local convention. The TLocale::DecimalSeparator()
function can supply the desired character.
TChar iTriad;
Defines the character to be used to delimit groups of three digits in the integer part of the number.
In general, the character used for this purpose is a matter of local convention. The TLocale::ThousandsSeparator()
function can supply the desired character.
TInt iTriLen;
Defines the threshold number of digits above which triad separation is to occur. A value of zero disables triad separation and no triad separation character (i.e. the character held in iTriad) is inserted into the resulting character representation regardless of the number of characters.
For example, a value of 1 causes the number 1000 to be represented by the characters "1,000" whereas a value of 4 causes the same number to be represented by the characters "1000" (This assumes the ‘,’ triad separation character).
Note that no triad separation occurs if the flag KDoNotUseTriads is set in the iType data member.
