Class ParsePosition

java.lang.Object

java.text.ParsePosition

public class ParsePosition
extends Object

Tracks the current position in a parsed string. In case of an error the error index can be set to the position where the error occurred without having to change the parse position.

Constructor Detail

ParsePosition

public ParsePosition(int index)

Constructs a new ParsePosition with the specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index to begin parsing.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Compares the specified object to this ParsePosition and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, object must be an instance of ParsePosition and it must have the same index and error index.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - the object to compare with this object.

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this ParsePosition; false otherwise.

See Also:

hashCode()

getErrorIndex

public int getErrorIndex()

Returns the index at which the parse could not continue.

Returns:

the index of the parse error or -1 if there is no error.

getIndex

public int getIndex()

Returns the current parse position.

Returns:

the current position.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

this object's hash code.

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

setErrorIndex

public void setErrorIndex(int index)

Sets the index at which the parse could not continue.

Parameters:

index - the index of the parse error.

setIndex

public void setIndex(int index)

Sets the current parse position.

Parameters:

index - the current parse position.

toString

public String toString()

Returns the string representation of this parse position.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the string representation of this parse position.
