const getOrdinalNumber = require("./get-ordinal-number");
// In this week's prep, we started implementing getOrdinalNumber.

// Continue testing and implementing getOrdinalNumber for additional cases.
// Write your tests using Jest — remember to run your tests often for continual feedback.

// To ensure thorough testing, we need broad scenarios that cover all possible cases.
// Listing individual values, however, can quickly lead to an unmanageable number of test cases.
// Instead of writing tests for individual numbers, consider grouping all possible input values
// into meaningful categories. Then, select representative samples from each category to test.
// This approach improves coverage and makes our tests easier to maintain.

// Case 1: Numbers ending with 1 (but not 11)
// When the number ends with 1, except those ending with 11,
// Then the function should return a string by appending "st" to the number.

  expect(getOrdinalNumber(1)).toEqual("1st");
  expect(getOrdinalNumber(21)).toEqual("21st");

});

// Ends with 2, except 12

  expect(getOrdinalNumber(2)).toEqual("2nd");
