FieldPosition setEndIndex() method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 08 Feb, 2023

The setEndIndex() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to set the index of the character which is preceded by the last character in FieldPosition object.

Syntax:

public void setEndIndex(int ei)

Parameter: This method takes the integer value index for the new index of the character which is preceded by the last character in FieldPosition object.

Return Value: This method has nothing to return.

Below are the examples to illustrate the setEndIndex() method:

Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// setEndIndex() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // new FieldPosition Object
            FieldPosition pos
                = new FieldPosition(
                    MessageFormat.Field.ARGUMENT);

            // setting end index
            pos.setEndIndex(10);

            // getting end index of FieldPosition Object
            // using getEndIndex() method
            int i = pos.getEndIndex();

            // display result
            System.out.println(&quot;end index :- &quot; + i);
        }

        catch (ClassCastException e) {

            System.out.println(&quot;Exception thrown : &quot; + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

end index :- 10

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// setEndIndex() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // new FieldPosition Object
            FieldPosition pos
                = new FieldPosition(
                    DateFormat.Field.AM_PM);

            // setting end index
            pos.setEndIndex(5);

            // getting end index of FieldPosition Object
            // using getEndIndex() method
            int i = pos.getEndIndex();

            // display result
            System.out.println(&quot;end index :- &quot; + i);
        }

        catch (ClassCastException e) {

            System.out.println(&quot;Exception thrown : &quot; + e);
        }
    }
}
