public abstract class NumberFormat
extends Format
```
NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number formats. This class provides the interface for formatting and parsing numbers. NumberFormat also provides methods for determining which locales have number formats, and what their names are.
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.
To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the factory class methods:
```
 myString = NumberFormat.getInstance().format(myNumber);
 
```
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.
```
 NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
 for (int i = 0; i < myNumber.length; ++i) {
     output.println(nf.format(myNumber[i]) + "; ");
 }
 
```
To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the call to getInstance.
```
 NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.FRENCH);
 
```
You can also use a NumberFormat to parse numbers:
```
 myNumber = nf.parse(myString);
 
```
Use getInstance or getNumberInstance to get the normal number format. Use getIntegerInstance to get an integer number format. Use getCurrencyInstance to get the currency number format. And use getPercentInstance to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a fraction like 0.53 is displayed as 53%.
You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as setMinimumFractionDigits. If you want even more control over the format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can try casting the NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a DecimalFormat. This will work for the vast majority of locales; just remember to put it in a try block in case you encounter an unusual one.
NumberFormat and DecimalFormat are designed such that some controls work for formatting and others work for parsing. The following is the detailed description for each these control methods,
setParseIntegerOnly : only affects parsing, e.g. if true, "3456.78" → 3456 (and leaves the parse position just after index 6) if false, "3456.78" → 3456.78 (and leaves the parse position just after index 8) This is independent of formatting. If you want to not show a decimal point where there might be no digits after the decimal point, use setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown.
setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown : only affects formatting, and only where there might be no digits after the decimal point, such as with a pattern like "#,##0.##", e.g., if true, 3456.00 → "3,456." if false, 3456.00 → "3456" This is independent of parsing. If you want parsing to stop at the decimal point, use setParseIntegerOnly.
You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and FieldPosition to allow you to:
- progressively parse through pieces of a string
- align the decimal point and other areas
For example, you can align numbers in two ways:
1. If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment, you can pass the FieldPosition in your format call, with field = INTEGER_FIELD. On output, 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.
2. 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.
Synchronization

Number formats are generally not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

public StringBuffer format(Object number,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)
```
    Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer. The number can be of any subclass of Number.
    This implementation extracts the number's value using Number.longValue() for all integral type values that can be converted to long without loss of information, including BigInteger values with a bit length of less than 64, and Number.doubleValue() for all other types. It then calls format(long,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition) or format(double,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition). This may result in loss of magnitude information and precision for BigInteger and BigDecimal values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    format in class Format
    
    Parameters:
    
    number - the number to format
    
    toAppendTo - the StringBuffer to which the formatted 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
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if number is null or not an instance of Number.
    
    NullPointerException - if toAppendTo or pos is null
    
    ArithmeticException - if rounding is needed with rounding mode being set to RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY

  - parseObject
```
public final Object parseObject(String source,
                                ParsePosition pos)
```
    Parses text from a string to produce a Number.
    The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by pos. If parsing succeeds, then the index of pos is updated to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed number is returned. The updated pos can be used to indicate the starting point for the next call to this method. If an error occurs, then the index of pos is not changed, the error index of pos is set to the index of the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.
    See the parse(String, ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.
    
    Specified by:
    
    parseObject in class Format
    
    Parameters:

```
public Number parse(String source)
             throws ParseException
```
    Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a number. The method may not use the entire text of the given string.
    See the parse(String, ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.
    
    Parameters:

public boolean isParseIntegerOnly()
```
    Returns true if this format will parse numbers as integers only. For example in the English locale, with ParseIntegerOnly true, the string "1234." would be parsed as the integer value 1234 and parsing would stop at the "." character. Of course, the exact format accepted by the parse operation is locale dependant and determined by sub-classes of NumberFormat.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if numbers should be parsed as integers only; false otherwise

    Sets the minimum number of digits allowed in the fraction portion of a number. minimumFractionDigits must be ≤ maximumFractionDigits. If the new value for minimumFractionDigits exceeds the current value of maximumFractionDigits, then maximumIntegerDigits will also be set to the new value
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - the minimum number of fraction digits to be shown; if less than zero, then zero is used. The concrete subclass may enforce an upper limit to this value appropriate to the numeric type being formatted.

    getMinimumFractionDigits()
  - getCurrency
```
public Currency getCurrency()
```
    Gets the currency used by this number format when formatting currency values. The initial value is derived in a locale dependent way. The returned value may be null if no valid currency could be determined and no currency has been set using setCurrency.
    The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.
    
    Returns:
    
    the currency used by this number format, or null
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the number format class doesn't implement currency formatting
    
    Since:
    
    1.4
  - setCurrency
```
public void setCurrency(Currency currency)
```
    Sets the currency used by this number format when formatting currency values. This does not update the minimum or maximum number of fraction digits used by the number format.
    The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    currency - the new currency to be used by this number format
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the number format class doesn't implement currency formatting
    
    NullPointerException - if currency is null
    
    Since:
    
    1.4
  - getRoundingMode
```
public RoundingMode getRoundingMode()
```
    Gets the RoundingMode used in this NumberFormat. The default implementation of this method in NumberFormat always throws UnsupportedOperationException. Subclasses which handle different rounding modes should override this method.
    
    Returns:
    
    The RoundingMode used for this NumberFormat.
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - The default implementation always throws this exception
    
    Since:
    
    1.6
    
    See Also:
    
    setRoundingMode(RoundingMode)
  - setRoundingMode
```
public void setRoundingMode(RoundingMode roundingMode)
```
    Sets the RoundingMode used in this NumberFormat. The default implementation of this method in NumberFormat always throws UnsupportedOperationException. Subclasses which handle different rounding modes should override this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    roundingMode - The RoundingMode to be used
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - The default implementation always throws this exception
    
    NullPointerException - if roundingMode is null
    
    Since:
    
    1.6
