# Instructions

Given a name and a number, your task is to produce a sentence using that name and that number as an [ordinal numeral][ordinal-numeral].
Yaʻqūb expects to use numbers from 1 up to 999.

Rules:

- Numbers ending in 1 (except for 11) → `"st"`
- Numbers ending in 2 (except for 12) → `"nd"`
- Numbers ending in 3 (except for 13) → `"rd"`
- All other numbers → `"th"`

Examples:

- `"Mary", 1` → `"Mary, you are the 1st customer we serve today. Thank you!"`
- `"John", 12` → `"John, you are the 12th customer we serve today. Thank you!"`
- `"Dahir", 162` → `"Dahir, you are the 162nd customer we serve today. Thank you!"`

# Introduction

Your friend Yaʻqūb works the counter at a deli in town, slicing, weighing, and wrapping orders for a line of hungry customers that gets longer every day.
Waiting customers are starting to lose track of who is next, so he wants numbered tickets they can use to track the order in which they arrive.

To make the customers feel special, he does not want the ticket to have only a number on it.
They shall get a proper English sentence with their name and number on it.

Consider continuing the if statement with an else as the default. The return 'th' is otherwise an implicit else and makes it seem like it is not related to the if statement.

This is an example solution, though, so does not need to be exemplar.

Line 17 is the happy path for most numbers so it's aligned to the left while the if....elseifs are the special cases. Considering each branch returns, I could do away with the elseif and do if for the three special cases, but I didn't want to bother adding the additional endif lines.
