Module:Age

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Age/doc

--[[ Code for some date functions, including implementations of:
        {{Age in days}}                 age_days
        {{Age in years and months}}     age_ym
        {{Gregorian serial date}}       gsd_ymd
Calendar functions will be needed in many areas, so this may be superseded
by some other system, perhaps using PHP functions accessed via mediawiki.

local function number_name(number, singular, plural, sep)
    -- Return the given number, converted to a string, with the
    -- separator (default space) and singular or plural name appended.
    plural = plural or (singular .. 's')

    return tostring(number) .. sep .. ((number == 1) and singular or plural)
    -- this uses an interesting trick of Lua:
    --  * and returns false if the first argument is false, and the second otherwise, so (number==1) and singular returns singular if its 1, returns false if it is only 1
    --  * or returns the first argument if it is not false, and the second argument if the first is false
    --  * so, if number is 1, and evaluates (true and singular) returning (singular); or evaluates (singular or plural), finds singular non-false, and returns singular
    --  * but, if number is not 1, and evaluates (false and singular) returning (false); or evaluates (false or plural), and is forced to return plural
