Return the default number system type name.

Currently this is :default. Note that this is not the number system itself but the type of the number system. It can be used to find the default number system for a given locale with number_systems_for(locale)[default_number_system()].

example

Returns locale and number systems that have the same digits and separators as the supplied one.

arguments

Arguments

• locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct returned by Cldr.Locale.new!/2

Returns

notes

Notes

Transliterating between locale & number systems is expensive. To avoid unnecessary transliteration we look for locale and number systems that have the same digits and separators. Typically we are comparing to locale "en" and number system "latn" since this is what the number formatting routines use as placeholders.

examples

Examples

@spec system_name_from(system_name(), Cldr.Locale.locale_reference(), Cldr.backend()) ::
  {:ok, atom()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns a number system name for a given locale and number system reference.

arguments

Arguments

• system_name is any number system name returned by Cldr.known_number_systems/0 or a number system type returned by Cldr.known_number_system_types/0

• locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct returned by Cldr.Locale.new!/2

• backend is any Cldr backend. That is, any module that contains use Cldr

notes

Notes

Number systems can be references in one of two ways:

• As a number system type such as :default, :native, :traditional and :finance. This allows references to a number system for a locale in a consistent fashion for a given use

• WIth the number system name directly, such as :latn, :arab or any of the other 70 or so

This function dereferences the supplied system_name and returns the actual system name.

examples

Examples

ex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from(:default, "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
{:ok, :latn}

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from("latn", "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
{:ok, :latn}

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from(:native, "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
{:ok, :latn}

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from(:nope, "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
{
  :error,
  {Cldr.UnknownNumberSystemError, "The number system :nope is unknown"}
}

Note that return value is not guaranteed to be a valid number system for the given locale as demonstrated in the third example.

@spec system_name_from!(system_name(), Cldr.Locale.locale_reference(), Cldr.backend()) ::
  atom() | no_return()

Returns a number system name for a given locale and number system reference and raises if the number system is not available for the given locale.

arguments

Arguments

• system_name is any number system name returned by Cldr.known_number_systems/0 or a number system type returned by Cldr.known_number_system_types/0

• locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct returned by Cldr.Locale.new!/2

• backend is any Cldr backend. That is, any module that contains use Cldr

examples

Examples

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from!(:default, "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
:latn

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from!("latn", "en", TestBackend.Cldr)
:latn

iex> Cldr.Number.System.system_name_from!(:traditional, "he", TestBackend.Cldr)
:hebr

@spec to_system(Cldr.Math.number_or_decimal(), atom(), Cldr.backend()) ::
  {:ok, binary()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Converts a number into the representation of a non-latin number system.

This function converts numbers to a known number system only, it does not provide number formatting.

arguments

Arguments

• number is a float, integer or Decimal

• system_name is any number system name returned by Cldr.known_number_systems/0 or a number system type returned by Cldr.known_number_system_types/0

• backend is any Cldr backend. That is, any module that contains use Cldr

returns

Returns

• {:ok, string_of_digits} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

notes

Notes

There are two types of number systems in CLDR:

• :numeric in which the number system defines a direct mapping between the latin digits 0..9 into a the number system equivalent. In this case, to_system/3 invokes Cldr.Number.Transliterate.transliterate_digits/3 for the given number.

• :algorithmic in which the number system does not have the same structure as the :latn number system and therefore the conversion is done algorithmically. For CLDR the algorithm is implemented through Cldr.Rbnf rulesets. These rulesets are considered by CLDR to be less rigorous than the :numeric number systems and caution and testing for a specific use case is recommended.

examples

Examples

iex> Cldr.Number.System.to_system 123456, :hebr, TestBackend.Cldr
