另一个一行程序，但是没有进行比较，只将正则表达式结果索引到数组中。

public static string GetOrdinalSuffix(int input)
{
    return new []{"th", "st", "nd", "rd"}[Convert.ToInt32("0" + Regex.Match(input.ToString(), "(?<!1)[1-3]$").Value)];
}

PowerShell版本可以进一步缩短:

function ord($num) { return ('th','st','nd','rd')[[int]($num -match '(?<!1)[1-3]$') * $matches[0]] }

记得国际化!

这里的解决方案只适用于英语。如果您需要支持其他语言，事情就会变得复杂得多。

例如，在西班牙语中，“1st”可以写成“1”。o”、“1。”、“1。o”或“1”。比如“取决于你数的东西是阳性、阴性还是复数!”

因此，如果您的软件需要支持不同的语言，请尽量避免使用序数。

虽然我还没有对此进行基准测试，但通过避免所有条件case语句，您应该能够获得更好的性能。

这是java，但是移植到c#很简单:

public class NumberUtil {
  final static String[] ORDINAL_SUFFIXES = {
    "th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th"
  };

  public static String ordinalSuffix(int value) {
    int n = Math.abs(value);
    int lastTwoDigits = n % 100;
    int lastDigit = n % 10;
    int index = (lastTwoDigits >= 11 && lastTwoDigits <= 13) ? 0 : lastDigit;
    return ORDINAL_SUFFIXES[index];
  }

  public static String toOrdinal(int n) {
    return new StringBuffer().append(n).append(ordinalSuffix(n)).toString();
  }
}

注意，如果在一个紧密循环中生成大量序数，减少条件和使用数组查找应该会提高性能。然而，我也承认这并不像case语句解决方案那样可读。

简单、干净、快捷

private static string GetOrdinalSuffix(int num)
{
    string number = num.ToString();
    if (number.EndsWith("11")) return "th";
    if (number.EndsWith("12")) return "th";
    if (number.EndsWith("13")) return "th";
    if (number.EndsWith("1")) return "st";
    if (number.EndsWith("2")) return "nd";
    if (number.EndsWith("3")) return "rd";
    return "th";
}

或者更好的是，作为一个扩展方法

public static class IntegerExtensions
{
    public static string DisplayWithSuffix(this int num)
    {
        string number = num.ToString();
        if (number.EndsWith("11")) return number + "th";
        if (number.EndsWith("12")) return number + "th";
        if (number.EndsWith("13")) return number + "th";
        if (number.EndsWith("1")) return number + "st";
        if (number.EndsWith("2")) return number + "nd";
        if (number.EndsWith("3")) return number + "rd";
        return number + "th";
    }
}

现在你可以打电话了

int a = 1;
a.DisplayWithSuffix(); 

甚至直接到

1.DisplayWithSuffix();

要求“减少冗余”版本的samjudson的回答…

public static string AddOrdinal(int number)
{
    if (number <= 0) return number.ToString();

    string GetIndicator(int num)
    {
        switch (num % 100)
        {
            case 11:
            case 12:
            case 13:
                return "th";
        }

        switch (num % 10)
        {
            case 1:
                return "st";
            case 2:
                return "nd";
            case 3:
                return "rd";
            default:

    return number + GetIndicator(number);
