Posted by anthony crumley, Thu Nov 22 07:00:00 UTC 2007
The Ruby on Rails framework is chock full of interesting little nuggets. Ordinalize is a number extension that returns the corresponding ordinal number as a string. For instance, 1.ordinalize returns “1st” and 22.ordinalize return “22nd”.
Example:
place = 3
puts "You are currently in #{place.ordinalize} place."
Result:
You are currently in 3rd place.
