## Typedef Documentation

## ◆ DictionaryBasedBreakIterator

typedef RuleBasedBreakIterator icu::DictionaryBasedBreakIterator

An obsolete subclass of RuleBasedBreakIterator.

Handling of dictionary- based break iteration has been folded into the base class. This class is deprecated as of ICU 3.6.

Deprecated:
  ICU 3.6

Definition at line 38 of file dbbi.h.

## ◆ UFieldResolutionTable

typedef int32_t icu::UFieldResolutionTable[12][8]

Internal:
  Do not use.

This API is for internal use only.

Definition at line 55 of file calendar.h.

## ◆ UMeasurePrefix

typedef enum icu::UMeasurePrefix icu::UMeasurePrefix

Enumeration for SI and binary prefixes, e.g.

"kilo-", "nano-", "mebi-".

Enum values should be treated as opaque: use umeas_getPrefixPower() and umeas_getPrefixBase() to find their corresponding values.

Stable:
  ICU 69

See also
  umeas_getPrefixBase
  umeas_getPrefixPower

## Enumeration Type Documentation

## ◆ UMatchDegree

enum icu::UMatchDegree

Constants returned by `UnicodeMatcher::matches()` indicating the degree of match.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

Enumerator
U_MISMATCH | Constant returned by `matches()` indicating a mismatch between the text and this matcher. The text contains a character which does not match, or the text does not contain all desired characters for a non-incremental match. Stable: ICU 2.4
U_PARTIAL_MATCH | Constant returned by `matches()` indicating a partial match between the text and this matcher. This value is only returned for incremental match operations. All characters of the text match, but more characters are required for a complete match. Alternatively, for variable-length matchers, all characters of the text match, and if more characters were supplied at limit, they might also match. Stable: ICU 2.4
U_MATCH | Constant returned by `matches()` indicating a complete match between the text and this matcher. For an incremental variable-length match, this value is returned if the given text matches, and it is known that additional characters would not alter the extent of the match. Stable: ICU 2.4

Definition at line 33 of file unimatch.h.

## ◆ UMeasurePrefix

enum icu::UMeasurePrefix

Enumeration for SI and binary prefixes, e.g.

"kilo-", "nano-", "mebi-".

## ◆ UMeasureUnitComplexity

enum icu::UMeasureUnitComplexity

Enumeration for unit complexity.

There are three levels:

- SINGLE: A single unit, optionally with a power and/or SI or binary prefix. Examples: hectare, square-kilometer, kilojoule, per-second, mebibyte.
- COMPOUND: A unit composed of the product of multiple single units. Examples: meter-per-second, kilowatt-hour, kilogram-meter-per-square-second.
- MIXED: A unit composed of the sum of multiple single units. Examples: foot+inch, hour+minute+second, degree+arcminute+arcsecond.

The complexity determines which operations are available. For example, you cannot set the power or prefix of a compound unit.

Stable:
  ICU 67

Enumerator
UMEASURE_UNIT_SINGLE | A single unit, like kilojoule. Stable: ICU 67
UMEASURE_UNIT_COMPOUND | A compound unit, like meter-per-second. Stable: ICU 67
UMEASURE_UNIT_MIXED | A mixed unit, like hour+minute. Stable: ICU 67

## ◆ URBNFRuleSetTag

enum icu::URBNFRuleSetTag

Stable:
  ICU 2.2

Enumerator
URBNF_SPELLOUT | Requests predefined ruleset for spelling out numeric values in words. Stable: ICU 2.2
URBNF_ORDINAL | Requests predefined ruleset for the ordinal form of a number. Stable: ICU 2.2
URBNF_DURATION | Requests predefined ruleset for formatting a value as a duration in hours, minutes, and seconds. Deprecated: ICU 74 Use MeasureFormat instead.
URBNF_NUMBERING_SYSTEM | Requests predefined ruleset for various non-place-value numbering systems. WARNING: The same resource contains rule sets for a variety of different numbering systems. You need to call setDefaultRuleSet() on the formatter to choose the actual numbering system. Stable: ICU 2.2
URBNF_COUNT | One more than the highest normal URBNFRuleSetTag value. Deprecated: ICU 58 The numeric value may change over time, see ICU ticket #12420.
