View Source Cldr.Number.System (Cldr Numbers v2.33.1)
Number systems information is used to define different representations for numeric values to an end user. Numbering systems are defined in CLDR as one of two different types: algorithmic and numeric.
Numeric systems are simply a decimal based system that uses a predefined set of digits to represent numbers. Examples are Western digits (ASCII digits), Thai digits, Devanagari digits.
Algorithmic systems are more complex in nature, since the proper formatting and presentation of a numeric quantity is based on some algorithm or set of rules. Examples are Chinese numerals, Hebrew numerals, or Roman numerals.
In CLDR, the rules for presentation of numbers in an algorithmic system
are defined using the rules based number formats (RBNF) which are
implemented in Cldr.Number.Rbnf
.
Number system attributes
Attributes for a number system map are as follows:
:id
specifies the name of the number system that can be used to designate its use in formatting.:type
specifies whether the number system is algorithmic or numeric.:digits
For numeric systems, specifies the digits used to represent numbers, in order, starting from zero.:rules
specifies the RBNF ruleset to be used for formatting numbers from this number system. The rules specifier can contain simply a ruleset name, in which case the ruleset is assumed to be found in the rule set grouping "NumberingSystemRules". Alternatively, the specifier can denote a specific locale, ruleset grouping, and ruleset name, separated by slashes.
An example of a number system map is:
iex> Cldr.Number.System.number_systems()[:latn]
%{type: :numeric, digits: "0123456789"}
iex> Cldr.Number.System.number_systems()[:taml]
%{type: :algorithmic, rules: "tamil"}
Number system types
Each number system also categories number systems into various types:
:native
defines the number system used for the native digits, usually defined as a part of the script used to write the language.:native
number system can only be a numeric positional decimal-digit number system, using digits with General_Category=Decimal_Number. Note that In locales where the native number system is the default, it is assumed that the number system "latn" (Western digits 0-9) is always acceptable, and can be selected using the-nu
keyword as part of a Unicode locale name.:traditional
defines the traditional numerals for a locale. This numbering system may be numeric or algorithmic. If the traditional number system is not defined, the native number system is used as a fallback.:finance
defines the number system used for financial quantities. This number system may be numeric or algorithmic. This is often used for ideographic languages such as Chinese, where it would be easy to alter an amount represented in the default number system simply by adding additional strokes. If the financial number system is not specified, the default number system is used as a fallback.
An example of a number system map for the :zh
locale is:
iex> Cldr.Number.System.number_systems_for(:zh, MyApp.Cldr)
{:ok,
%{default: :latn, native: :hanidec, traditional: :hans, finance: :hansfin}}
This indicates that for the locale :zh
, the number systems :latn
, :hanidec
,
:hans
and :hansfin
are supported. These number systems are a mix of
nuemeric systems and algorithmic systems.
Specifying the number system in a locale name
The types defined for other number systems can be used in a Unicode locale identifier to select the proper number system without having to know the specific number system by name. For example:
To select the Hindi language using the native digits for numeric formatting, use locale ID: "hi-IN-u-nu-native".
To select the Chinese language using the appropriate financial numerals, use locale ID: "zh-u-nu-finance".
To select the Tamil language using the traditional Tamil numerals, use locale ID: "ta-u-nu-traditio".
To select the Arabic language using western digits 0-9, use locale ID: "ar-u-nu-latn".

Types
@type system_name() :: atom()
@type types() :: :default | :native | :traditional | :finance
Functions
Returns a map of the number systems that are algorithmic.
Algorithmic number systems don't have decimal digits. Numbers are formed by algorithm using rules based number formats.
The :rules
field contains the name of the
RBNF rule that will be used with formatting
a number with format: :standard
(which is
also the default when no :format
is specified).

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
==> import Cldr.LanguageTag.Sigil
==> Cldr.Number.System.number_systems_like(:en, :latn, MyApp.Cldr)
{:ok,
[
{~l[en], :latn},
{~l[en-IN], :latn},
{~l[ta], :latn},
{~l[th], :latn},
{~l[zh], :latn}
]
}
Returns a map of the number systems that have their own digit character representations.

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

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.

invokesCldr.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 throughCldr.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.
