Random negative chat channel

This LSL function should, according to my calculations, return a random negative integer in the range -2,000,000,000 to -1,000,000, suitable for use as a dialog chat channel. <lsl> integer GetDialogChannel () {

   return (integer) llFrand (-1999000001.0) - 1000000;

} </lsl>

Ordinal suffix

This LSL function takes an integer and returns a string that is the integer with its ordinal suffix ("st", "nd", "rd" or "th") appended. <lsl> string OrdinalSuffix (integer number) {

   string result = "th"; //for all except 1s, 2s and 3s, but including 11, 12 and 13
   number = number % 100; //just the 10s
   if (number < 4 || number > 20) //exclude the teens (and their neighbours)
   {
       number = number % 10; //just the units
       if (number == 1) result = "st"; //*1st
       else if (number == 2) result = "nd"; //*2nd
       else if (number == 3) result = "rd"; //*3rd
   }
   return (string) number + result;

} </lsl>
