Description
The Plural
method is a static extension method provided by the SandboxSystemExtensions
class. It is used to return the appropriate singular or plural form of a word based on a given integer value. This method is particularly useful for formatting strings where the grammatical number of a noun needs to match the quantity it describes.
Usage
To use the Plural
method, you need to pass three parameters:
a
: An int
representing the quantity.
single
: A string
representing the singular form of the word.
plural
: A string
representing the plural form of the word.
The method will return the single
string if a
is 1, and the plural
string otherwise.
Example
// Example usage of the Plural method
int itemCount = 5;
string result = SandboxSystemExtensions.Plural(itemCount, "item", "items");
// result will be "items" because itemCount is 5
itemCount = 1;
result = SandboxSystemExtensions.Plural(itemCount, "item", "items");
// result will be "item" because itemCount is 1
