[ANY] Singular and Plural

I've seen lots of if statements because of this very problem. Here is an easy solution:

PHP Code:


		
			
int coins = 10;
PrintToChat(client, "You have %i Coin%s", coins, coins==1?"":"s");

Re: [ANY] Singular and Plural

For anyone interested in learning more on how to use this in other situations it is called a ternary operator:

Re: [ANY] Singular and Plural

I love ternary operators. My recent discovery of how they work (the ternary operator being the ? symbol) has given me so many ways compressing small if statements like the one Totenfluch provided.

:D

Code:

//  Evaluates to a string of the ordinal suffix of a number (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc)

#define NatSuf(%1)               ((%1 + 9) % 10 >= 3 || (%1 + 89) % 100 < 3 ? "th" : (%1 % 10) == 1 ? "st" : (%1 % 10) == 2 ? "nd" : "rd")

Woah. Are you a wizard?

Also, I challenge you to break the all down part by part and explain what each thing means and does :P

Ah yes, the 0th :wink:

Instead of going into macro, modulo, and ternary hell, try something untested like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
static stock NatStuf(number)

{

    static const String:InternalPrefix[][] = {"", "st", "nd", "rd", "th"};

    new mod = (number % 10);

    if (mod > 3)

        mod = (sizeof(InternalPrefix) - 1);

    

    return _:InternalPrefix[mod];

}

Re: [ANY] Singular and Plural

Ternary operators are usefull but can make code difficult to read.

Re: [ANY] Singular and Plural

You can make a translations phrase for single and plural.
Not all languages express plural the same

Nor are all languages consistent with how words are pluralized, including English. Ex. "s" versus "es", not to mention English words that have origins in other languages.

Re: [ANY] Singular and Plural

It was funny when I made a bool for gender

And then realized that army tanks are an "it".
