Hi Folks,
Thanks to Marcel's help on String format:
I have a proposed version for the Rosetta Code entry for 99 bottles of beer
https://rosettacode.org/wiki/99_bottles_of_beer
|template|
Transcript clear.
template:='{1} bottles of beer on the wall
{2} bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
{3} bottles of beer on the wall'.
99 to: 1 by: -1 do:[:v |
Transcript show: (template format: {(v asString) . (v asString) . ((v -1) asString)}); cr; cr.
].
Transcript show: 'hic!'; cr.
Any improvements suggestions much appreciated.
If anybody has a Rosetta code account and wants to update that example, please do so.
cordially.
Here is a a version that handles the plural/single case
|bottles|
Transcript clear.
bottles:='{1} bottle{2} of beer on the wall

Why not:
bottles:='{1} bottle{2} of beer on the wall {1} bottle{2} of beer Take one down, pass it around {3} bottle{4} of beer on the wall'.
Also, for v=2, v-1 bottle does not require a plural... So maybe, use this:
plurals := #('' 's'). Transcript show: (bottles format: {(v asString) . (plurals atPin:v) . ((v -1) asString). plurals at: v-1}); cr; cr.

Argh, I posted too fast, also use `plurals atPin: v-1`and remove excess () pairs.
Transcript show: (bottles format: {v asString. plurals atPin:v. (v -1) asString. plurals atPin: v-1}); cr; cr.
By the way, I had a hard time finding the atPin: selector...

I found it by accident browsing around the collection protocol like 5 years ago. Thats one of the reasons I sometimes aimlessly browse around the image :D -t

Thank you all for your help and improvements.
The modified code is up at:

Also, pro-tip.
When investigating which atPin: method is called, DO NOT put a breakpoint in the RunnArray version .

It's interesting (and rather sad) to look at the other languages on that page; so many deeply ugly syntax choices.

Interesting!
Its up and posted.
I have also incorporated into Doc-RossetaCode Help

Hey, that's nice.
I will modify it .
and post it at Rosetta code, or feel free to modify my example there online.
