## 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

  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

## ◆ 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.

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.
