    • getDefaultNumberFormat

      protected static NumberFormat getDefaultNumberFormat()
      Create a default number format. The default number format is based on NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(java.util.Locale) with the only customizing is the maximum number of fraction digits, which is set to 0.

      the default number format.

    • format

      public StringBuffer format(Fraction fraction, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)
      Formats a Fraction object to produce a string. The fraction is output in improper format.
      Parameters:
      fraction - the object to format.
      toAppendTo - where the text is to be appended
      pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field
      Returns:
      the value passed in as toAppendTo.

    • format

      public StringBuffer format(Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos) throws MathIllegalArgumentException, MathIllegalStateException
      Formats an object and appends the result to a StringBuffer. obj must be either a Fraction object or a Number object. Any other type of object will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
      Overrides:
      format in class NumberFormat
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to format.

      pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field
      Returns:
      the value passed in as toAppendTo.
      Throws:
      MathIllegalStateException - if the number cannot be converted to a fraction
      MathIllegalArgumentException - if obj is not a valid type.
