...Ordinal numbers (or ordinal numerals) are words representing position or rank in a sequential order.
From Wikipedia.
Your task is, using 2 separate programs (of which can be made from 2 different languages), to output the ordinal sequence from first to nth
. You will be outputting the full word second
as opposed to 2nd
.
The challenge of ordinal numbers has been brought up before, particularly in this entry. In this challenge, ordinals are merely a vehicle to facilitate the unique conditions detailed below.
Part 1
You must make a program that, when given the input of n
must output anything.
n
will always be a positive, non-zero integer no larger than 999.
Valid output includes but is not limited to:
- Any output to
stdout
/stderr
/ etc - Creation of files / folders / etc
- A graphical interface or images of any kind
Anything goes.
Part 2
You must make a program that uses the output of part 1's program to output a sequence of ordinal numbers, starting from 1 (first), up to whatever n
was parsed in part 1.
General Conditions:
- The total bytes for part 2 must not exceed the total bytes for part 1 (less than or equal to).
Output conditions:
- Not case sensitive.
- Output must contain only the ordinal sequence (only characters a-Z) and whitespace (newlines allowed).
- Can be output to any source, so long as it is visible either during or after execution.
- Program does not need to terminate so long as its output is correct.
- Output is not required to have any grammar, but may optionally include it (hyphens, commas, "ands", etc).
nine hundred ninety ninth
is just as acceptable asnine hundred and ninety-ninth
.
Sample Output
Where n
is 8
FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FIFTH SIXTH SEVENTH EIGHTH
Scoring
The hierarchy of win conditions is:
- The lowest number of bytes in part 1
- The lowest number of bytes in part 2
Entry #1 | Part 1 = 32 bytes, Part 2 = 22 bytes
Entry #2 | Part 1 = 31 bytes, part 2 = 30 bytes
Entry #2 wins - Part 1 contains 31 bytes vs 32 bytes
---
Entry #1 | Part 1 = 21 bytes, Part 2 = 33 bytes
Entry #2 | Part 1 = 80 bytes, Part 2 = 70 bytes
Entry #2 wins - Entry #1 disqualified (Part 2 contains more bytes than Part 1)
---
Entry #1 | Part 1 = 50 bytes, Part 2 = 49 bytes
Entry #2 | Part 1 = 50 bytes, Part 2 = 50 bytes
Entry #1 wins - Part 1 is equal, Part 2 contains 49 bytes vs 50 bytes
one hundred and eleventh
orone hundred eleventh
? \$\endgroup\$[30, 'second']
for32
then p2 has less work to do that if it had output, just32
. \$\endgroup\$
