Golang : Check if a word is countable or not
Here is an inflector
function useful in determining if a given word is countable or not. The function returns TRUE if the word is countable or FALSE if not.
Here you go!
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func IsCountable(input string) bool {
// dictionary of word that has no plural version
toCheck := strings.ToLower(input)
var nonCountable = []string{
"audio",
"bison",
"chassis",
"compensation",
"coreopsis",
"data",
"deer",
"education",
"emoji",
"equipment",
"fish",
"furniture",
"gold",
"information",
"knowledge",
"love",
"rain",
"money",
"moose",
"nutrition",
"offspring",
"plankton",
"pokemon",
"police",
"rice",
"series",
"sheep",
"species",
"swine",
"traffic",
"wheat",
}
for _, v := range nonCountable {
if toCheck == v {
return false
}
}
return true
}
func main() {
fmt.Println("Traffic is countable? ", IsCountable("traffic"))
fmt.Println("Swine is countable? ", IsCountable("SwINE"))
fmt.Println("Fish is countable? ", IsCountable("FISH"))
fmt.Println("Apple is countable? ", IsCountable("Apple"))
fmt.Println("People is countable? ", IsCountable("People"))
}
Output:
Traffic is countable? false
Swine is countable? false
Fish is countable? false
Apple is countable? true
