Task
Spelling of ordinal numbers
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Ordinal numbers   (as used in this Rosetta Code task),   are numbers that describe the   position   of something in a list.

It is this context that ordinal numbers will be used, using an English-spelled name of an ordinal number.


The ordinal numbers are   (at least, one form of them):

  1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th  7th  ···  99th  100th  ···  1000000000th  ···  etc

sometimes expressed as:

  1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th  7th  ···  99th  100th  ···  1000000000th  ···


For this task, the following (English-spelled form) will be used:

  first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh ninety-nineth one hundredth one billionth


Furthermore, the American version of numbers will be used here   (as opposed to the British).

2,000,000,000   is two billion,   not   two milliard.


Task

Write a driver and a function (subroutine/routine ···) that returns the English-spelled ordinal version of a specified number   (a positive integer).

Optionally, try to support as many forms of an integer that can be expressed:   123   00123.0   1.23e2   all are forms of the same integer.

Show all output here.


Test cases

Use (at least) the test cases of:

  1  2  3  4  5  11  65  100  101  272  23456  8007006005004003

Factor

Factor's math.text.english vocabulary provides the number>text word for converting numbers to written English. It also provides the ordinal-suffix word for getting the suffix for a given number, such as th for 12. The bulk of this code deals with converting the output of number>text to ordinal format.

J

Here, we follow J's best practice for ordinal numbers, which is that 0 is first and 1 is second. This emphasizes the distinction between cardinal numbers like 0 and ordinal numbers like first, accurately represents array indices, and neatly captures a variety of related linguistic issues.

Also, we use definitions from the number names task and the N'th task:

ord=: {{
  ((us,suf)1+y) rplc ;:{{)n onest first twond second 
    threerd third fiveth fifth eightth eighth
}}-.LF
}}

Examples:

   ord 0
first
   ord 1
second
   ord 2
third
   ord 3
fourth
   ord 4

   ord 5
sixth

This makes use of code posted on this site by MichaeLeroy for a similar task at https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Number_names#Julia. The function num2text is used (but not included here) as posted from that location.

const irregular = Dict("one" => "first", "two" => "second", "three" => "third", "five" => "fifth", 
                                "eight" => "eighth", "nine" => "ninth", "twelve" => "twelfth")
const suffix = "th"
const ysuffix = "ieth"

function numtext2ordinal(s)
    lastword = split(s)[end]
    redolast = split(lastword, "-")[end]
    if redolast != lastword
        lastsplit = "-"
        word = redolast
    else
        lastsplit = " "
        word = lastword
    end
    firstpart = reverse(split(reverse(s), lastsplit, limit=2)[end])
    firstpart = (firstpart == word) ? "": firstpart * lastsplit
    if haskey(irregular, word)
        word = irregular[word]
    elseif word[end] == 'y'

Kotlin

This makes use of the code at https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Number_names#Kotlin, which I also wrote, and adjusts it to output the corresponding ordinal. Although, for good measure, the program can deal with negative integers, zero and UK-style numbers (the insertion of 'and' at strategic places, no 'milliards' I promise!) none of these are actually tested in line with the task's requirements.

Adding zero to the input forces a numeric conversion (any identity operation would suffice).

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: Rakudo version 2019.07.1

Rakudo version 2019.07.1 is updated to Unicode version 12.1. Unicode version 12.0 introduced some new numeric digits, which changed the output here a bit. This will work with earlier versions of Rakudo, but will yield slightly different results.

This would be pretty simple to implement from scratch; it would be straightforward to do a minor modification of the Number names task code. Much simpler to just use the Lingua::EN::Numbers module from the Raku ecosystem though. It will easily handles ordinal number conversions.

We need to be slightly careful of terminology. In Raku, 123, 00123.0, & 1.23e2 are not all integers. They are respectively an Int (integer), a Rat (rational number) and a Num (floating point number). (The fourth numeric is a Complex) For this task it doesn't much matter as the ordinal routine coerces its argument to an Int, but to Raku they are different things. We can further abuse allomorphic and String types and role mixins for some somewhat non-intuitive results as well.

Note that the different allomorphic integer forms of 123 are evaluated on use, not on assignment. They can be passed around in parameters, but until they are used numerically, they retain their stringy characteristics and are distinctive, determinable through introspection. The numerics are evaluated on assignment, hence the stringified output not exactly matching the input format. The mixin role returns different things depending on what context you evaluate it under. When evaluated as a string it is 17, numerically, it is 123.

Raku uses Unicode natively. If a glyph has a Unicode 'Numeric Digit' (<:Nd>) property, it is treated as a numeric digit, and may be used as one.

It is not really clear what is meant by "Write a driver and a function...". Well, the function part is clear enough; driver not so much. Perhaps this will suffice.
