is there a quick and dirty way to add 'st' 'rd' 'th' to numbers?
-
public string Dirty(int number){
switch (number){
case 1:
return "1st";
case 2:
return "2nd";
case 3:
return "3rd";
default:
return number.ToString() + "th";
}
}Dirty enough?

That's extremely dirty :-D I think there is an article about this question here on cp.com
public string Dirty(int number) { switch (number) { case 0:return ""; case 1:return "1st"; case 2:return "2nd"; case 3:return "3rd"; default:return number.ToString() + "th"; } } I fixed your code a little. So that if "number = 0;" it won't return "0th" but will return an empty string.

public string Dirty(int number)
{
if (number <= 0) return "";
switch (number/10 == 1 ? number : number%10)
{
case 1: return number + "st";
case 2: return number + "nd";
case 3: return number + "rd";
default: return number + "th";
}

To be honest I was unsure about those dates and just entered "21th" into google. Because I got over 2 mio hits i thought it must be correct. Now I tried and "21st" and I got over 150 mio hits :omg:

I think that for any number whenever the digit at tenth place is '1' then 'th' is always appended to the number. For all other numbers ending with 1,2,3 digits are appended with 'st','nd','rd' respectively for all other digits 'th' is appended. And this is my code. public string Dirty(int number) { int num=number%100; int tenplace=num/10; if(tenplace==1) { return number + "th"; } switch (number%10) { case 1: return number + "st"; case 2: return number + "nd"; case 3: return number + "rd"; default: return number + "th"; } }

Very nice, but unless you want it to return -21th, or 0th, you need to add: try { if (number < 1) return ""; //YOUR CODE HERE } catch { return ""; } If you don't add the try/catch and the number is too big you will get an error.
yeh u r right. But I think 0th is valid. instead of number < 1 we should use number < 0 would work better
