How do you format the day of the month to say “11th”, “21st” or “23rd” (ordinal indicator)?

Question

I know this will give me the day of the month as a number (11, 21, 23):

SimpleDateFormat formatDayOfMonth = new Simple         


        

Answer 1

public String getDaySuffix(int inDay)
{
  String s = String.valueOf(inDay);

  if (s.endsWith("1"))
  {
    return "st";
  }
  else if (s.endsWith("2"))
  {
    return "nd";
  }
  else if (s.endsWith("3"))
  {
    return "rd";
  }
  else
  {
    return "th";
  }
}
