Integer to long Ordinal string in c#.net

Question

Does anyone knows how to convert an integer to a long ordinal word in C# ?

Is easy to convert 1 to 1st, 2 to 2nd using this algorithm described here: Is there an easy way to create ordinals in C#?. But i need a way to convert 1 to the long ordinal word version. For example:

1 => First

2 => Second

3 => Third ...

9 => Ninth and so on for any number.

The solution can not either create an infinite dictionary list with key par values of (1, "first", 2, "second", etc, etc)

Thanks humanizr works, This class https://github.com/Humanizr/Humanizer/blob/dev/src/Humanizer/Localisation/NumberToWords/EnglishNumberToWordsConverter.cs will contain the desired result — love2code, Feb 24 '18 at 19:31
By the way this was not a homework, This was actually requested by a product analyst from the company that a work for. — love2code, Feb 24 '18 at 19:37

I too cant find the exact solution for that.But I managed to get the answer.Try this,It will be useful.

public string ConvertNumbertoWordsFirst(long number)
    {
        string words = "";
        words = ConvertNumbertoWords(number);
        words = words.TrimEnd('\\');
        if (words.EndsWith("One"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("One") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "First";
        }
        else if (words.EndsWith("Two"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("Two") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "Second";
        }
        else if (words.EndsWith("Three"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("Three") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "Third";
        }
        else if (words.EndsWith("Five"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("Five") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "Fifth";
        }
        else if (words.EndsWith("Eight"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("Eight") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "Eighth";
        }
        else if (words.EndsWith("Nine"))
        {
            words = words.Remove(words.LastIndexOf("Nine") + 0).Trim();
            words = words + "Ninth";
        }
        else
        {
            words = words + "th";
        }
        return words;
    }

ConvertNumbertoWords() is the function i got it from the below link. Link : converting numbers in to words C#

public string ConvertNumbertoWords(long number)
    {
        if (number == 0) return "Zero";
        if (number < 0) return "minus " + ConvertNumbertoWords(Math.Abs(number));
        string words = "";
        if ((number / 100000) > 0)
        {
            words += ConvertNumbertoWords(number / 100000) + " Lakhs ";
            number %= 100000;
        }
        if ((number / 1000) > 0)
        {
            words += ConvertNumbertoWords(number / 1000) + " Thousand ";
            number %= 1000;
        }
        if ((number / 100) > 0)
        {
            words += ConvertNumbertoWords(number / 100) + " Hundred ";
            number %= 100;
        }

        if (number > 0)
        {
            if (words != "") words += "and ";
            var unitsMap = new[]
            {
        "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "NINETEEN"
    };
            var tensMap = new[]
            {
        "Zero", "Ten", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety"
    };
            if (number < 20) words += unitsMap[number];
            else
            {
                words += tensMap[number / 10];
                if ((number % 10) > 0) words += " " + unitsMap[number % 10];
            }
        }
        return words;
    }
