$ord appends "st", "nd", "rd", or "th" as appropriate, to the number N.

Synopsis

$ord(N)

Parameters

• N - The number

Properties

None

Example

//echo -a $ord(3)

Rules:

1. If number ends with 11 12 or 13, suffix is th
2. If number ends with 1 the suffix is st
3. If number ends with 2 the suffix is nd
4. If number ends with 3 the suffix is rd
5. All other numbers end with th, including zero.

This code shows that following these 5 rules produces the same output as letting mIRC calculate the Ordinal. It repeatedly hashes a string consisting of the previous hash combined with the $ord of the next number, and both methods produce the identical hash:

//var %a , %a2 , %i 0 | while (%i isnum 0-999) { if ($istok(11 12 13,$right(%i,2),32)) var %ord th | elseif ($findtok(1 2 3,$right(%i,1),1,32)) var %ord $gettok(st nd rd,$v1,32) | else var %ord th | var %a $sha1(%a %i $+ %ord) , %a2 $sha1(%a2 $ord(%i)) | inc %i } | echo -a %a , %a2

For fractions, the $ord uses the last 1 or 2 digits of the fraction.

//echo -a $ord(2.1) and $ord($pi)
