    48  *
    49  * SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a
    50  * language-independent manner. It allows for formatting (millis -> text),
    51  * parsing (text -> millis), and normalization. Formats/Parses a date or time,
    52  * which is the standard milliseconds since 24:00 GMT, Jan 1, 1970.
    53  * <P>
    54  * Clients are encouraged to create a date-time formatter using DateFormat::getInstance(),
    55  * getDateInstance(), getDateInstance(), or getDateTimeInstance() rather than
    56  * explicitly constructing an instance of SimpleDateFormat.  This way, the client
    57  * is guaranteed to get an appropriate formatting pattern for whatever locale the
    58  * program is running in.  However, if the client needs something more unusual than
    59  * the default patterns in the locales, he can construct a SimpleDateFormat directly
    60  * and give it an appropriate pattern (or use one of the factory methods on DateFormat
    61  * and modify the pattern after the fact with toPattern() and applyPattern().
    62  *
    63  * <p><strong>Date and Time Patterns:</strong></p>
    64  *
    65  * <p>Date and time formats are specified by <em>date and time pattern</em> strings.
    66  * Within date and time pattern strings, all unquoted ASCII letters [A-Za-z] are reserved
    67  * as pattern letters representing calendar fields. <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> supports
    68  * the date and time formatting algorithm and pattern letters defined by
    69  * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Field_Symbol_Table">UTS#35

   627  * \endcode
   628  * </pre>
   629  * Code Sample:
   630  * <pre>
   631  * \code
   632  *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
   633  *     SimpleTimeZone* pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, "PST");
   634  *     pdt->setStartRule( Calendar::APRIL, 1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);
   635  *     pdt->setEndRule( Calendar::OCTOBER, -1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);
   636  *
   637  *     // Format the current time.
   638  *     SimpleDateFormat* formatter
   639  *         = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss a zzz", success );
   640  *     GregorianCalendar cal(success);
   641  *     UDate currentTime_1 = cal.getTime(success);
   642  *     FieldPosition fp(0);
   643  *     UnicodeString dateString;
   644  *     formatter->format( currentTime_1, dateString, fp );
   645  *     cout << "result: " << dateString << endl;
   646  *
   647  *     // Parse the previous string back into a Date.
   648  *     ParsePosition pp(0);
   649  *     UDate currentTime_2 = formatter->parse(dateString, pp );
   650  * \endcode
   651  * </pre>
   652  * In the above example, the time value "currentTime_2" obtained from parsing
   653  * will be equal to currentTime_1. However, they may not be equal if the am/pm
   654  * marker 'a' is left out from the format pattern while the "hour in am/pm"
   655  * pattern symbol is used. This information loss can happen when formatting the
   656  * time in PM.
   657  *
   658  * <p>
   659  * When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"),
   660  * SimpleDateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year
   661  * relative to some century.  It does this by adjusting dates to be
   662  * within 80 years before and 20 years after the time the SimpleDateFormat
   663  * instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a
   664  * SimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997,  the string
   665  * "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64"
   666  * would be interpreted as May 4, 1964.
   667  * During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined by
   668  * <code>Unicode::isDigit()</code>, will be parsed into the default century.
   669  * Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit
   670  * string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for example, "-1"), is
   671  * interpreted literally.  So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed (for the
   672  * Gregorian calendar), using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD.  Likewise (but
   673  * only in lenient parse mode, the default) "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
   674  *
   675  * <p>
   676  * If the year pattern has more than two 'y' characters, the year is
   677  * interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits.  So using the
   678  * pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
   679  *
   680  * <p>
   681  * When numeric fields abut one another directly, with no intervening delimiter
   682  * characters, they constitute a run of abutting numeric fields.  Such runs are
   683  * parsed specially.  For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text
   684  * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to
   685  * parse "1234".  In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible,
   686  * while the others keep a fixed width.  If the parse fails anywhere in the run,
   687  * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is
   688  * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the
   689  * leftmost field is one character in length.  If the parse still fails at that
   690  * point, the parse of the run fails.
   691  *
   692  * <P>
   693  * For time zones that have no names, SimpleDateFormat uses strings GMT+hours:minutes or
   694  * GMT-hours:minutes.
   695  * <P>
   696  * The calendar defines what is the first day of the week, the first week of the
   697  * year, whether hours are zero based or not (0 vs 12 or 24), and the timezone.
   698  * There is one common number format to handle all the numbers; the digit count
   699  * is handled programmatically according to the pattern.
   700  *
   701  * <p><em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write
   702  * subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be
   703  * guaranteed to work stably from release to release.
