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
