Enumeration of ways to handle the positive/negative sign.

The formatting engine allows the positive and negative signs of numbers to be controlled using this enum. See DateTimeFormatterBuilder for usage.

Implementation Requirements: This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.
Since:1.8

public enum SignStyle {
Style to output the sign only if the value is negative.

In strict parsing, the negative sign will be accepted and the positive sign rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted.

/** * Style to output the sign only if the value is negative. * <p> * In strict parsing, the negative sign will be accepted and the positive sign rejected. * In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted. */
NORMAL,
Style to always output the sign, where zero will output '+'.

In strict parsing, the absence of a sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence of a sign treated as a positive number.

/** * Style to always output the sign, where zero will output '+'. * <p> * In strict parsing, the absence of a sign will be rejected. * In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence * of a sign treated as a positive number. */
ALWAYS,
Style to never output sign, only outputting the absolute value.

In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed.

/** * Style to never output sign, only outputting the absolute value. * <p> * In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. * In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed. */
NEVER,
Style to block negative values, throwing an exception on printing.

In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed.

/** * Style to block negative values, throwing an exception on printing. * <p> * In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. * In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed. */
NOT_NEGATIVE,
Style to always output the sign if the value exceeds the pad width. A negative value will always output the '-' sign.

In strict parsing, the sign will be rejected unless the pad width is exceeded. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence of a sign treated as a positive number.

/** * Style to always output the sign if the value exceeds the pad width. * A negative value will always output the '-' sign. * <p> * In strict parsing, the sign will be rejected unless the pad width is exceeded. * In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence * of a sign treated as a positive number. */

Parse helper.
Params:
  • positive – true if positive sign parsed, false for negative sign
  • strict – true if strict, false if lenient
  • fixedWidth – true if fixed width, false if not
Returns:
