CollationElementIterator secondaryOrder() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 10 Jan, 2022

The secondaryOrder() method of java.text.CollationElementIterator class is used to provide the secondary component of every Collation element of CollationElementIterator object. Syntax:

public static final short secondaryOrder(int order)

Parameter: This method takes a collation element as a parameter in the integer format for which secondary component has to be found. Return Value: This method returns the secondary component for the particular Collation element. Below are the examples to illustrate the secondaryOrder() method: Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// secondaryOrder() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing testString
        String test = "GeeksForGeeks";

        // creating and initializing
        // RuleBasedCollator object
        RuleBasedCollator rbc
            = (RuleBasedCollator)(Collator.getInstance());

        // creating and initializing
        // CollationElementIterator
        CollationElementIterator cel
            = rbc.getCollationElementIterator(test);

        // for iteration
        for (int i = 1; i <= test.length(); i++) {

            // getting secondary component of every element
            // using secondaryOrder() method
            int value
                = CollationElementIterator
                      .secondaryOrder(cel.next());

            // display the result
            System.out.println("secondary order "
                               + "for order "
                               + i + " is "
                               + value);
        }
    }
}

Output:

secondary order for order 1 is 0
secondary order for order 2 is 0
secondary order for order 3 is 0
secondary order for order 4 is 0
secondary order for order 5 is 0
secondary order for order 6 is 0
secondary order for order 7 is 0
secondary order for order 8 is 0
secondary order for order 9 is 0
secondary order for order 10 is 0
secondary order for order 11 is 0
secondary order for order 12 is 0
secondary order for order 13 is 0

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// secondaryOrder() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing testString
        String test
            = "Code Geeks 123<>?";

        // creating and initializing
        // RuleBasedCollator object
        RuleBasedCollator rbc
            = (RuleBasedCollator)(Collator.getInstance());

        // creating and initializing
        // CollationElementIterator
        CollationElementIterator cel
            = rbc.getCollationElementIterator(test);

        // for iteration
        for (int i = 1; i <= test.length(); i++) {

            // getting secondary component of every element
            // using secondaryOrder() method
            int value
                = CollationElementIterator
                      .secondaryOrder(cel.next());

            // display the result
            System.out.println("secondary order "
                               + "for order "
                               + i + " is "
                               + value);
        }
    }
}

Output:

secondary order for order 1 is 0
secondary order for order 2 is 0
secondary order for order 3 is 0
secondary order for order 4 is 0
secondary order for order 5 is 1
secondary order for order 6 is 0
secondary order for order 7 is 0
secondary order for order 8 is 0
secondary order for order 9 is 0
secondary order for order 10 is 0
secondary order for order 11 is 1
secondary order for order 12 is 0
secondary order for order 13 is 0
secondary order for order 14 is 0
secondary order for order 15 is 0
secondary order for order 16 is 0
secondary order for order 17 is 0
