# numericFormat

A string representing a count for the type, e.g. “2 books”.

## Declaration

```swift
var numericFormat: LocalizedStringResource?
```

## Discussion

Discussion In your numericFormat implementation, use StringInterpolation placeholders and provide a .stringsdict file with all possible pluralizations for the type, such as “0 books”, “1 book”, and “2 books”. Example: TypeDisplayRepresentation(     name: LocalizedStringResource("Book"),     numericFormat: LocalizedStringResource("\(placeholder: .int) books") ) <dict>    <key>Book</key>    <dict>      <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key>      <string>%#@VARIABLE@</string>      <key>VARIABLE</key>      <dict>        <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key>        <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string>        <key>one</key>        <string>Book</string>        <key>other</key>        <string>Books</string>      </dict>    </dict>    <key>%lld books</key>    <dict>      <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key>      <string>%#@count@</string>      <key>count</key>      <dict>        <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key>        <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string>        <key>NSStringFormatValueTypeKey</key>        <string>lld</string>        <key>zero</key>        <string>%lld books</string>        <key>one</key>        <string>%lld book</string>        <key>other</key>        <string>%lld books</string>      </dict>    </dict>  </dict>
