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.
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.
