Description

Require nonempty title and positive integer editionNumber, then append an edition suffix.

Limitations and assumptions

  • This formats a supplied edition assertion without identifying a publisher, confirming bibliographic distinctions, or authenticating the source.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Consult the source edition and relevant community or scholarly guidance before interpreting or reusing the material.
