Checking Plurals With ASP - A Simple Check Plural Function

Mar 21

I notice that a lot of database driven websites make easy mistakes by not checking for plural words. An example might be "2 vote" or "1 votes". Here is an example of a function using ASP to check for plurals.


function CheckPlural(input)
	if input <> 1 then
		CheckPlural = "s"
	else
		CheckPlural = ""
	end if
end function

This function can be called like so:


25 Vote<%=CheckPlural(25)%>

Tags: asp, function ( Add Tag )

Yay, Lakeland has the same function:



function pluralize(numb)


	if numb=1 then


		pluralize=""


	else


		pluralize="s"


	end if


end function

I believe I ran across the Lakeland function one day. Then some time passed and I without thinking I wrote the same thing over again on my site. Funny how that happens.
