Constructor Detail

### Numberer_en

    public Numberer_en()

Method Detail

### setTensUnitsSeparatorCardinal

    public void setTensUnitsSeparatorCardinal(String separator)

  Set the separator to be used between tens and units for cardinal numbers. This allows customization of the output, for example "thirty six", "thirty-six", or "thirtysix". Default is a single space.

  Currently the only way of calling this is from a subclass, which can be nominated by setting a `LocalizerFactory` on the `Configuration`

  Parameters:
    `separator` - the separator to be used between tens and units when cardinal numbers are written as words.

### setTensUnitsSeparatorOrdinal

    public void setTensUnitsSeparatorOrdinal(String separator)

  Set the separator to be used between tens and units for ordinal numbers. This allows customization of the output, for example "thirty sixth", "thirty-sixth", or "thirtysixth". Default is a hyphen.

  Currently the only way of calling this is from a subclass, which can be nominated by setting a `LocalizerFactory` on the `Configuration`

  Parameters:
    `separator` - the separator to be used between tens and units when ordinal numbers are written as words.

### ordinalSuffix

    protected String ordinalSuffix(String ordinalParam,
                                   long number)

  Construct the ordinal suffix for a number, for example "st", "nd", "rd"

  Overrides:
    `ordinalSuffix` in class `AbstractNumberer`
  Parameters:
    `ordinalParam` - the value of the ordinal attribute (used in non-English language implementations)
    `number` - the number being formatted
  Returns:
    the ordinal suffix to be appended to the formatted number

### toWords

    public String toWords(long number)

  Show the number as words in title case. (We choose title case because the result can then be converted algorithmically to lower case or upper case).

  Specified by:
    `toWords` in class `AbstractNumberer`
  Parameters:
    `number` - the number to be formatted
  Returns:
    the number formatted as English words

### toOrdinalWords

    public String toOrdinalWords(String ordinalParam,
                                 long number,
                                 int wordCase)

  Show an ordinal number as English words in a requested case (for example, Twentyfirst)

  Specified by:
    `toOrdinalWords` in class `AbstractNumberer`
  Parameters:
    `ordinalParam` - the value of the "ordinal" attribute as supplied by the user
    `number` - the number to be formatted
    `wordCase` - the required case for example `AbstractNumberer.UPPER_CASE`, `AbstractNumberer.LOWER_CASE`, `AbstractNumberer.TITLE_CASE`
  Returns:
    the formatted number

### monthName

    public String monthName(int month,
                            int minWidth,
                            int maxWidth)

    `minWidth` - The minimum number of characters
    `maxWidth` - The maximum number of characters

### dayName

                          int minWidth,
