Cardinalities

• CARDINALITY_ONE

  Matches n = 1

  Example Integers: 1

• CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches all other values

  Example Integers: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000

  Example Decimals: 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6

Addendum: Language Form Rules

The language form expressions above are specified by Unicode Technical Standard #35 and use the following notation:

• n absolute value of the source number (integer and decimals)
• i integer digits of n
• v number of visible fraction digits in n, with trailing zeros
• w number of visible fraction digits in n, without trailing zeros
• f visible fractional digits in n, with trailing zeros
• t visible fractional digits in n, without trailing zeros

Some examples follow:

• n = 1 ⇒ i = 1, v = 0, w = 0, f = 0, t = 0
• n = 1.0 ⇒ i = 1, v = 1, w = 0, f = 0, t = 0
• n = 1.00 ⇒ i = 1, v = 2, w = 0, f = 0, t = 0
• n = 1.3 ⇒ i = 1, v = 1, w = 1, f = 3, t = 3
• n = 1.30 ⇒ i = 1, v = 2, w = 1, f = 30, t = 3
• n = 1.03 ⇒ i = 1, v = 2, w = 2, f = 3, t = 3
• n = 1.230 ⇒ i = 1, v = 3, w = 2, f = 230, t = 23
