DecimalFormatSymbols (Bck2Brwsr API Profile 0.9 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable
```
public class DecimalFormatSymbols
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable
```
This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers. DecimalFormat creates for itself an instance of DecimalFormatSymbols from its locale data. If you need to change any of these symbols, you can get the DecimalFormatSymbols object from your DecimalFormat and modify it.

- Constructor Detail
  - DecimalFormatSymbols
```
public DecimalFormatSymbols()
```
    Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the default locale. This constructor can only construct instances for the locales supported by the Java runtime environment, not for those supported by installed DecimalFormatSymbolsProvider implementations. For full locale coverage, use the getInstance method.
  - DecimalFormatSymbols
```
public DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale locale)
```
    Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the given locale. This constructor can only construct instances for the locales supported by the Java runtime environment, not for those supported by installed DecimalFormatSymbolsProvider implementations. For full locale coverage, use the getInstance method.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if locale is null
