I need a long ordinal sequence vector in R. As a simple example of what I want:



OS <- c("First","Second","Third")


Is there a build-in vector like that?






r

  • Not built-in, because it'd have to be part of the locale.

    You could pull it out of Unicode CLDR maybe, though that may be as much work as typing out yourself, depending on how far you need to go.

    I googled "R cardinal numbers" and got to the vignette for the toOrdinal package, but unfortunately it doesn't actually get you words.



    library(toOrdinal)
    
sapply(1:5,toOrdinal)
    
## [1] "1st" "2nd" "3rd" "4th" "5th"


    The docs say




    convert_to: OPTIONAL. Output type that provided 'cardinal_number' is
    converted into. Default is 'ordinal_number' which refers to
    the 'cardinal_number' followed by the appropriate ordinal
    indicator. Additional options planned include 'ordinal_word'.




    so maybe this will eventually do what you want ...
