Your Google-fu is weak...
From the API.
Then a Google on 'unicode category nd' gives us this page at the top.
so Character.DECIMAL_DIGIT_NUMBER ==9 or digits from 0-9?
Yep, the digits 0 ... 9 in all possible alphabets, not just the ASII 0 ... 9. They all use the decimal system (it surprises me somewhat).Quote:

It's a constant that is used to identify whether a Unicode Character is one of the ND characters (those listed in the second link).
Those are the characters representing the integers 0-9, in whatever language.
It is returned from the Character.getType() method.
ASII? or ASCII? I'm kinda newbie.Quote:

I have told you not to use a hammer for typing...
I didn't; I used an axe. b.t.w. I dropped a bit of my espresso in my new laptop and now they're repairing the stupid thing; I hope it's back by the end of the week because this old thing is sooo slow ...

ps. I bet it can't stand a drop of Grolsch either ... ;-)
They don't make 'em like they used to.
I used to work at a university help desk (shudder), and one time I spent 45 minutes troubleshooting with a professor over the phone because her laptop wouldn't turn on. Made sure it was plugged in (that was the solution to 75% of the calls from professors, kid you not), took the battery out and put it back in, etc. She refused to just bring it in, and when I asked why, she said... "I spilled some soda into it, and it's all wet.. you don't think that has anything to do with it not turning on, do you?"Quote:

They even start to malfunction if you only think of banging those tiny little plastic keys ...Quote:
