Java.lang.Character.getDirectionality() Method
Description
The java.lang.Character.getDirectionality(int codePoint) returns the Unicode directionality property for the given character (Unicode code point). Character directionality is used to calculate the visual ordering of text. The directionality value of undefined character is DIRECTIONALITY_UNDEFINED.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.lang.Character.getDirectionality() method
public static byte getDirectionality(int codePoint)
Parameters
codePoint − the character (Unicode code point) for which the directionality property is requested
Return Value
This method returns the directionality property of the character.
Exception
NA
Example
The following example shows the usage of lang.Character.getDirectionality() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.lang.*; public class CharacterDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create 2 int primitives cp1, cp2 int cp1, cp2; // assign values to cp1, cp2 cp1 = 0x2323; cp2 = 0x2c60; // create 2 byte primitives b1, b2 byte b1, b2; // assign directionality of cp1, cp2 to b1, b2 b1 = Character.getDirectionality(cp1); b2 = Character.getDirectionality(cp2); /** * byte value 13 represents DIRECTIONALITY_OTHER_NEUTRALS * byte value -1 represents DIRECTIONALITY_UNDEFINED */ String str1 = "Directionality of cp1 is " + b1; String str2 = "Directionality of cp2 is " + b2; // print b1, b2 values System.out.println( str1 ); System.out.println( str2 ); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Directionality of cp1 is 13 Directionality of cp2 is 0
