GetNumericValue(Char)

Source:: Char.cs

Source:: Char.cs

Source:: Char.cs

Converts the specified numeric Unicode character to a double-precision floating point number.

public:
 static double GetNumericValue(char c);

public static double GetNumericValue (char c);

static member GetNumericValue : char -> double

Public Shared Function GetNumericValue (c As Char) As Double

Parameters

c: Char

The Unicode character to convert.

Returns

Double

The numeric value of c if that character represents a number; otherwise, -1.0.

Examples

The following example demonstrates GetNumericValue.

using namespace System;
int main()
{
   String^ str =  "input: 1";
   Console::WriteLine( Char::GetNumericValue( '8' ) ); // Output: "8"
   Console::WriteLine( Char::GetNumericValue( str, 7 ) ); // Output: "1"
}

using System;

public class GetNumericValueSample {
    public static void Main() {
        string str = "input: 1";

        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue('8'));		// Output: "8"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7));	// Output: "1"
    }
}

open System

let str = "input: 1"

printfn $"{Char.GetNumericValue '8'}"       // Output: "8"
printfn $"{Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7)}"   // Output: "1"

Module GetNumericValueSample
    Sub Main()
        Dim str As String
        str = "input: 1"

        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue("8"c))       ' Output: "8"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7))     ' Output: "1"
    End Sub
End Module

Remarks

The c parameter must be the Char representation of a numeric value. For example, if c is "5", the return value is 5. However, if c is "z", the return value is -1.0.

A character has an associated numeric value if and only if it is a member of one of the following UnicodeCategory categories: DecimalDigitNumber, LetterNumber, or OtherNumber.

The GetNumericValue method assumes that c corresponds to a single linguistic character and checks whether that character can be converted to a decimal digit. However, some numbers in the Unicode standard are represented by two Char objects that form a surrogate pair. For example, the Aegean numbering system consists of code points U+10107 through U+10133. The following example uses the ConvertFromUtf32 method to instantiate a string that represents AEGEAN NUMBER ONE. As the output from the example shows, the GetNumericValue(Char) method returns -1 if it is passed either a high surrogate or a low surrogate of this character.

int utf32 = 0x10107;       // AEGEAN NUMBER ONE
string surrogate = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32);
foreach (var ch in surrogate)
   Console.WriteLine("U+{0:X4}: {1}    ", Convert.ToUInt16(ch),
                                          Char.GetNumericValue(ch));

// The example displays the following output:
//       U+D800: -1
//       U+DD07: -1

let utf32 = 0x10107       // AEGEAN NUMBER ONE
let surrogate = Char.ConvertFromUtf32 utf32
for ch in surrogate do
    printfn $"U+{Convert.ToUInt16 ch:X4}: {Char.GetNumericValue ch}    "

// The example displays the following output:
//       U+D800: -1
//       U+DD07: -1

Dim utf32 As Integer = &h10107       ' AEGEAN NUMBER ONE
Dim surrogate As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32)
For Each ch In surrogate
   Console.WriteLine("U+{0:X4}: {1}    ", Convert.ToUInt16(ch), 
                                          Char.GetNumericValue(ch))
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       U+D800: -1
'       U+DD07: -1

Examples

The following code example demonstrates GetNumericValue.

using namespace System;
int main()
{
   String^ str =  "input: 1";
   Console::WriteLine( Char::GetNumericValue( '8' ) ); // Output: "8"
   Console::WriteLine( Char::GetNumericValue( str, 7 ) ); // Output: "1"

using System;

public class GetNumericValueSample {
    public static void Main() {

        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue('8'));		// Output: "8"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7));	// Output: "1"
    }
}

open System

let str = "input: 1"

printfn $"{Char.GetNumericValue '8'}"       // Output: "8"
printfn $"{Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7)}"   // Output: "1"

Module GetNumericValueSample
    Sub Main()
        Dim str As String
        str = "input: 1"

        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue("8"c))       ' Output: "8"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.GetNumericValue(str, 7))     ' Output: "1"
    End Sub
End Module

Remarks

The s parameter must be the string representation of a numeric value. For example, if the character at position index in s is "5", the return value is 5. However, if the character at position index in s is "z", the return value is -1.

Character positions in a string are indexed starting from zero.

A character has an associated numeric value if and only if it is a member of one of the following UnicodeCategory categories: DecimalDigitNumber, LetterNumber, or OtherNumber.

If the Char object at position index is the first character of a valid surrogate pair, the GetNumericValue(String, Int32) method determines whether the surrogate pair forms a numeric digit. For example, the Aegean numbering system consists of code points U+10107 through U+10133. The following example uses the ConvertFromUtf32 method to instantiate a string that represents each Aegean number. As the output from the example shows, the GetNumericValue(String, Int32) method returns the correct numeric value if it is passed the high surrogate of an Aegean number. However, if it is passed the low surrogate, it considers only the low surrogate in isolation and returns -1.

// Define a UTF32 value for each character in the
// Aegean numbering system.
for (int utf32 = 0x10107; utf32 <= 0x10133; utf32++) {
   string surrogate = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32);
   for (int ctr = 0; ctr < surrogate.Length; ctr++)
      Console.Write("U+{0:X4} at position {1}: {2}     ",
                        Convert.ToUInt16(surrogate[ctr]), ctr,
                        Char.GetNumericValue(surrogate, ctr));

   Console.WriteLine();
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       U+D800 at position 0: 1     U+DD07 at position 1: -1
//       U+D800 at position 0: 2     U+DD08 at position 1: -1
