Detailed Description

A formatter that formats numbers in user-friendly scientific notation.

Sample code:

UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
LocalPointer<ScientificNumberFormatter> fmt(
        ScientificNumberFormatter::createMarkupInstance(
                "en", "<sup>", "</sup>", status));
if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
    return;
}
UnicodeString appendTo;
// appendTo = "1.23456x10<sup>-78</sup>"
fmt->format(1.23456e-78, appendTo, status);
