JodaTime：第一天，第二天，第三天等格式的日期

Question

JodaTime是否提供此功能？我无法在文档中找到，也许我错过了什么？ Formatting API doc不显示这样的功能。

如果没有，解析结果字符串并匹配日期，相应地追加st，nd，th？

看起来很骇人，认为一个像JodaTime一样全面和精彩的图书馆（它确实是摇滚;-)）会提供这个看似简单的功能。

Answer 1

看看PrettyTime，它建立在JodaTime之上。

Answer 2

虽然乔达并没有直接实现这个，你不需要一个外部库，只需求助于这样一个简单的实现。

/** 
* Returns the correct suffix for the last digit (1st, 2nd, .. , 13th, .. , 23rd) 
*/ 
public static String getLastDigitSufix(int number) { 
    switch((number<20) ? number : number%10) { 
     case 1 : return "st"; 
     case 2 : return "nd"; 
     case 3 : return "rd"; 
     default : return "th"; 
    } 
} 

响应于MHaris，上面的代码产生

for (int i = 0; i < 99; i++) { 
    System.out.print(i + getLastDigitSufix(i) + ", "); 
} 

0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 
10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 
20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 
30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, 36th, 37th, 38th, 39th, 
40th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th, 
50th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th, 
60th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, 64th, 65th, 66th, 67th, 68th, 69th, 
70th, 71st, 72nd, 73rd, 74th, 75th, 76th, 77th, 78th, 79th, 
80th, 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th, 87th, 88th, 89th, 
90th, 91st, 92nd, 93rd, 94th, 95th, 96th, 97th, 98th, 99th 

其中，根据English Ordinals in Wikipedia看起来是正确的。
