Convert ordinal number to string [duplicate]

Question

I am retrieving ordinal numbers using below code:

public static String ordinal(int i) {
    String[] sufixes = new String[] { "th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th" };
    switch (i % 100) {
    case 11:
    case 12:
    case 13:
        return i + "th";
    default:
        return i + sufixes[i % 10];

    }
}

Output : 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

How can I get string like first, second, third from these ordinal numbers in java, Android.

I am able to get ordinal number like above already using switch (i%100) Ordinal String :: 0th Ordinal String :: 1st Ordinal String :: 2nd – Buffington

Are you looking for a number ordinals like 1st,2nd,3rd like? – Authoritative

no. That already I am getting. I want string like first, second, third.. – Buffington

Are you looking like this 1 -> "First" 2 -> "Second" 3 -> "Third" – Authoritative

yes. If it is possible using numbers like 1,2,3 to first, second, third.. will also be OK – Buffington

I have already tried from this link:: #6810836 but It is giving me errors – Buffington

@R2R I have used code from same link. but not getting result what I want – Buffington

@M.Prokhorov I have used code from same link. but not getting result what I want – Buffington

There are answers to that question that do provide alternatives to spell it out. – Sworn

Answer 1

You can use this class I wrote. Just download the file (license header included) to your project, update the package declaration, and you can use it like this.

Numerals ns = new Numerals();
System.out.println(ns.toWords(12048));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(12048, true));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(102500, false));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(102500, true));

which outputs

twelve thousand and forty-eight
twelve thousand and forty-eighth
one hundred and two thousand, five hundred
one hundred and two thousand, five hundredth

The second argument to toWords, if specified, determines whether to output ordinals (true) or regular numerals (false). You can take a look at it to see how it works.

This worked for me.. Thank you. – Buffington

That is an extremely poor solution when it comes to Android, as it lacks internationalization. – Zoara

@M.Prokhorov quite true. The OP would probably have been much better off using a full featured library. But I had the code anyway, so I thought I'd just share it. Plus, I missed the android tag when I first answered. – Providing
