## 29.10 java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols (JDK 1.1)

###

This class defines the various characters and strings, such as the decimal point, percent sign, and thousands separator, used by `DecimalFormat` when formatting numbers. You do not typically use this class directly unless you are formatting dates for an unsupported locale or in some highly customized way.

    public final class DecimalFormatSymbols extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable {
        // Public Constructors
                public DecimalFormatSymbols();
                public DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale locale);
        // Public Instance Methods
                public Object clone();  // Overrides Object
                public boolean equals(Object obj);  // Overrides Object
                public char getDecimalSeparator();
                public char getDigit();
                public char getGroupingSeparator();
                public String getInfinity();
                public char getMinusSign();
                public String getNaN();
                public char getPatternSeparator();
                public char getPerMill();
                public char getPercent();
                public char getZeroDigit();
                public int hashCode();  // Overrides Object
                public void setDecimalSeparator(char decimalSeparator);
                public void setDigit(char digit);
                public void setGroupingSeparator(char groupingSeparator);
                public void setInfinity(String infinity);
                public void setMinusSign(char minusSign);
                public void setNaN(String NaN);
                public void setPatternSeparator(char patternSeparator);
                public void setPerMill(char perMill);
                public void setPercent(char percent);
                public void setZeroDigit(char zeroDigit);
    }
