<p>Formats numbers and currencies based upon CLDR's decimal formats specification.</p><p>The format specification is documentated in <ahref="http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Number_Formats">Unicode TR35</a>.
There are several classes of formatting including non-scientific, scientific,
rules based (for spelling and ordinal formats), compact formats that display <codeclass="inline">1k</code>
rather than <codeclass="inline">1,000</code> and so on. See <ahref="https://hexdocs.pm/ex_cldr_numbers/2.30.1/Cldr.Number.html#to_string/2"><codeclass="inline">Cldr.Number.to_string/2</code></a> for specific formatting
<p>The following description applies to formats that do not use scientific
notation or significant digits:</p><ul><li><p>If the number of actual integer digits exceeds the maximum integer digits,
then only the least significant digits are shown. For example, 1997 is
formatted as "97" if the maximum integer digits is set to 2.</p></li><li><p>If the number of actual integer digits is less than the minimum integer
digits, then leading zeros are added. For example, 1997 is formatted as
"01997" if the minimum integer digits is set to 5.</p></li><li><p>If the number of actual fraction digits exceeds the maximum fraction
digits, then half-even rounding it performed to the maximum fraction
digits. For example, 0.125 is formatted as "0.12" if the maximum fraction
digits is 2. This behavior can be changed by specifying a rounding
increment and a rounding mode.</p></li><li><p>If the number of actual fraction digits is less than the minimum fraction
digits, then trailing zeros are added. For example, 0.125 is formatted as
"0.1250" if the minimum fraction digits is set to 4.</p></li><li><p>Trailing fractional zeros are not displayed if they occur j positions after
the decimal, where j is less than the maximum fraction digits. For example,
0.10004 is formatted as "0.1" if the maximum fraction digits is four or
<p>Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa and
a power of ten, for example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3. The
mantissa is typically in the half-open interval [1.0, 10.0) or sometimes
[0.0, 1.0), but it need not be. In a pattern, the exponent character
immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates scientific
notation. Example: "0.###E0" formats the number 1234 as "1.234E3".</p><ul><li><p>The number of digit characters after the exponent character gives the
minimum exponent digit count. There is no maximum. Negative exponents are
formatted using the localized minus sign, not the prefix and suffix from
the pattern. This allows patterns such as "0.###E0 m/s". To prefix positive
exponents with a localized plus sign, specify '+' between the exponent and
the digits: "0.###E+0" will produce formats "1E+1", "1E+0", "1E-1", and so
on. (In localized patterns, use the localized plus sign rather than '+'.)</p></li><li><p>The minimum number of integer digits is achieved by adjusting the exponent.
Example: 0.00123 formatted with "00.###E0" yields "12.3E-4". This only
happens if there is no maximum number of integer digits. If there is a
maximum, then the minimum number of integer digits is fixed at one.</p></li><li><p>The maximum number of integer digits, if present, specifies the exponent
grouping. The most common use of this is to generate engineering notation,
in which the exponent is a multiple of three, for example, "##0.###E0". The
number 12345 is formatted using "##0.####E0" as "12.345E3".</p></li><li><p>When using scientific notation, the formatter controls the digit counts
using significant digits logic. The maximum number of significant digits
limits the total number of integer and fraction digits that will be shown
in the mantissa; it does not affect parsing. For example, 12345 formatted
with "##0.##E0" is "12.3E3". Exponential patterns may not contain grouping

The most commonly used formats in this category are to spell out the
number in a the locales language. The applicable formats are <codeclass="inline">:spellout</code>,
<codeclass="inline">:spellout_year</code>, <codeclass="inline">:ordinal</code>. A number can also be formatted as roman

is required if <codeclass="inline">:format</code> is set to <codeclass="inline">:currency</code>. If <codeclass="inline">currency</code> is set
and no <codeclass="inline">:format</code> is set, <codeclass="inline">:format</code> will be set to <codeclass="inline">:currency</code> as well.</p></li><li><p><codeclass="inline">currency_symbol</code>: Allows overriding a currency symbol. The alternatives
are:</p><ul><li><codeclass="inline">:iso</code> the ISO currency code will be used instead of the default
currency symbol.</li><li><codeclass="inline">:narrow</code> uses the narrow symbol defined for the locale. The same
narrow symbol can be defined for more than one currency and therefore this

based upon the currency format for the locale.</li></ul></li><li><p><codeclass="inline">:cash</code>: a boolean which indicates whether a number being formatted as a
<codeclass="inline">:currency</code> is to be considered a cash value or not. Currencies can be
rounded differently depending on whether <codeclass="inline">:cash</code> is <codeclass="inline">true</code> or <codeclass="inline">false</code>.

should be used to define the separators and digits for the formatted
number. If <codeclass="inline">number_system</code> is an <codeclass="inline">atom</code> then <codeclass="inline">number_system</code> is
interpreted as a number system. If the <codeclass="inline">:number_system</code> is
<codeclass="inline">binary</code> then it is interpreted as a number system name. See

The default is <codeclass="inline">:default</code>.</p></li><li><p><codeclass="inline">:locale</code>: determines the locale in which the number is formatted. See
<ahref="https://hexdocs.pm/ex_cldr/2.36.0/Cldr.html#known_locale_names/0"><codeclass="inline">Cldr.known_locale_names/0</code></a>. The default is<ahref="https://hexdocs.pm/ex_cldr/2.36.0/Cldr.html#get_locale/0"><codeclass="inline">Cldr.get_locale/0</code></a> which is the
locale currently in affect for this <ahref="https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Process.html"><codeclass="inline">Process</code></a> and which is set by
<ahref="https://hexdocs.pm/ex_cldr/2.36.0/Cldr.html#put_locale/1"><codeclass="inline">Cldr.put_locale/1</code></a>.</p></li><li><p>If <codeclass="inline">:fractional_digits</code> is set to a positive integer value then the number
will be rounded to that number of digits and displayed accordingly - overriding
settings that would be applied by default. For example, currencies have
fractional digits defined reflecting each currencies minor unit. Setting
<codeclass="inline">:fractional_digits</code> will override that setting.</p></li><li><p>If <codeclass="inline">:maximum_integer_digits</code> is set to a positive integer value then the
number is left truncated before formatting. For example if the number <codeclass="inline">1234</code>
is formatted with the option <codeclass="inline">maximum_integer_digits: 2</code>, the number is
truncated to <codeclass="inline">34</code> and formatted.</p></li><li><p>If <codeclass="inline">:round_nearest</code> is set to a positive integer value then the number
will be rounded to nearest increment of that value - overriding
settings that would be applied by default.</p></li><li><p><codeclass="inline">:minimum_grouping_digits</code> overrides the CLDR definition of minimum grouping
digits. For example in the locale <codeclass="inline">es</code> the number <codeclass="inline">1234</code> is formatted by default
as <codeclass="inline">1345</code> because the locale defines the <codeclass="inline">minimium_grouping_digits</code> as <codeclass="inline">2</code>. If
<codeclass="inline">minimum_grouping_digits: 1</code> is set as an option the number is formatting as
<codeclass="inline">1.345</code>. The <codeclass="inline">:minimum_grouping_digits</code> is added to the grouping defined by
the number format. If the sum of these two digits is greater than the number
of digits in the integer (or fractional) part of the number then no grouping
is performed.</p></li><li><p><codeclass="inline">:wrapper</code> is a 2-arity function that will be called for each number component
with parameters <codeclass="inline">string</code> and <codeclass="inline">tag</code> where <codeclass="inline">tag</code> is one of <codeclass="inline">:number</code>,
<codeclass="inline">:permille</code>, <codeclass="inline">:minus</code> or <codeclass="inline">:plus</code>. The function must return a string. The
function can be used to wrap format elements in HTML or other tags.</p></li></ul><h2id="to_string/2-locale-extensions-affecting-formatting"class="section-heading">
