How many sides does this polygon have?

13

So in 1st grade math, you learn the names of polygons. Three sides is a triangle, 4 is a square, and 5 is a pentagon. However, in 1st grade honors, you go a bit further.

Your challenge

There is a naming system for polygons above a few sides, so arbitrarily large polygons have a name.

Your task is to write a program or a function that accepts the name of a polygon as input and outputs the number of sides it has.

The names of polygons are defined as in the left column of this wikipedia article with a few exceptions.

Three sided polygons will be called a triangle instead of a trigon and 4 sided polygons will be a square instead of a tetragon (assume that all the polygons are regular). Otherwise, the names in the article will be used.

Rules

  • Input will be a string value.
  • The program should print the result to STDOUT (or it should return an integer).
  • Only polygons between 3 and 99 will be inputted.
  • Your program must satisfy all test cases.
  • No standard loopholes.
  • The program doesn't need to do anything for invalid/out of range inputs.
  • Scoring is in bytes. Since this is , shortest program wins.

Test cases

3   triangle
4   square
5   pentagon
10  decagon
11  hendecagon
12  dodecagon
13  triskaidecagon
20  icosagon
21  icosikaihenagon
22  icosikaidigon
34  triacontakaitetragon
35  triacontakaipentagon
36  triacontakaihexagon
47  tetracontakaiheptagon
48  tetracontakaioctagon
49  tetracontakaienneagon
64  hexacontakaitetragon
80  octacontagon
81  octacontakaihenagon
99  enneacontakaienneagon

To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:

# Language Name, N bytes

where N is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:

# Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes

If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:

# Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes

You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:

# [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

@Dennis But all regular tetragons are. – Daniel M. – 2016-03-10T00:41:04.953

Note that the question that FryAmTheEggman points out goes in the opposite direction: This question goes from name to number of sides, while the prior one goes from number of sides to name. – isaacg – 2016-03-10T08:42:41.473

Close-voters: These questions are not the same. – Daniel M. – 2016-03-10T11:17:17.963

@DanielM. They may not be the same, but to me, simply reversing the task doesn't sufficiently differentiate it. – Mego – 2016-03-11T03:59:45.510

What was wrong with quadrilateral? – Neil – 2016-03-12T14:52:33.203

@Neil When you see "Triangle, __________, Pentagon, Hexagon", what's the first word that comes to mind? – Daniel M. – 2016-03-12T14:54:53.800

I'm pretty sure it was quadrilateral, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it. – Neil – 2016-03-12T15:11:39.387

@Neil Maybe, but there are already answers, so it wouldn't be fair to change it now – Daniel M. – 2016-03-12T15:16:10.483

Now that I look at the answers, I see they look for the q anyway, so they'd probably accept quadrilateral. – Neil – 2016-03-12T15:24:03.540

You know, a lot of these answers don't accept any names not shown in the test cases (for instance, the Cinnamon Gum answer does not accept nonagon as a valid input). Is that okay? – R. Kap – 2016-04-03T18:29:13.313

@R.Kap Catering to the test cases is a standard loophole, so they should be able to accept them all. – Daniel M. – 2016-04-03T19:21:41.307

@DanielM. Well then , since most of the current answers don't accept all shape names with sides from 0-99, they are invalid candidates. – R. Kap – 2016-04-03T20:52:05.883

@R.Kap Looking at the Wikipedia article, ennagon is the correct thing, and it wouldn't be good to change the challenge after there are answers. – Daniel M. – 2016-04-03T20:54:41.277

Wow, never heard of an enneagon before. I had always thought a nine-sided polygon is a nonagon, but apparently that's not the only possible name for it. Well, you live and you learn. – R. Kap – 2016-04-03T21:00:11.697

Python2 - 357 368 byte

Since the only real exceptions to the system are "square", "hendecagon" and "dodecagon", all other numbers follow the same pattern of having "kai" for second digits and "conta"/"deca" for their first digit.

import sys;s=input();e=eval;x='y(str(10*i(b)+i(a)))';y=sys.exit;a=b='0';l=['0','hen','di','tri','tet','pen','hex','hep','oct','enn'];i=l.index
if'kai'in s:
 a=[f for f in l if f in s[-8:]][0]
if'ca'in s:
 if l[1]in s:y("11")
 if'do'in s:y("12")
 b=l[1];e(x)
elif'co'in s:
 l[2]='ico';b=[f for f in l if f in s[:5]][0];e(x)
if'sq'in s:y("4")
y(str(i(s[:3])))

Explanation:

import sys;s=input();e=eval;x='y(str(10*i(b)+i(a)))';y=sys.exit;a=b='0'
l=['0','hen','di','tri','tet','pen','hex','hep','oct','enn']
# List of all defining numerals, index equals the number.
i=l.index

if'kai'in s:                       # check if the input is a two-digit number 
                                   # with a second digit greater than 0
 a=[f for f in l if f in s[-8:]][0] # get the second digit, and store it.

if'ca'in s:                        # Special case for 10-19
 if l[1]in s:y("11")               # Exceptions 11 & 12 
 if'do'in s:y("12")                #
 b=l[1];e(x)
elif'co'in s:                      # All other two digit numbers
 l[2]='ico'
 b=[f for f in l if f in s[:5]][0] # Get the first digit, and store it
 e(x) 
if'sq'in s:y("4")                  # Exception "square"
y(str(i(s[:3])))                   # All other single digit numbers 

This works for all inputs between 3-99, and prints the result to the console.

Might be more golfable, but this is as far as I can go right now.

**Edit: I just realized, this printed to STDERR, not STDOUT. Fixed code is a little longer:

import sys;s=input();e=eval;x="10*i(b)+i(a)";y=sys.exit;a=b='0';l=['0','hen','di','tri','tet','pen','hex','hep','oct','enn'];i=l.index
if'kai'in s:a=[f for f in l if f in s[-8:]][0]
if'ca'in s:
 if l[1]in s:print"11"
 if'do'in s:print"12"
 b=l[1];print e(x);y()
elif'co'in s:l[2]='ic';b=[f for f in l if f in s[:5]][0];print e(x);y()
if'q'in s:print"4"
print(i(s[:3]))

Can you save a byte by just testing for q instead of sq? – Neil – 2016-03-12T15:23:05.800

Yup, youre right. Ty – Kijata – 2016-03-13T21:03:19.603

You remove the import sys; and just use y=exit. It does the same thing. – Rɪᴋᴇʀ – 2016-03-21T18:12:28.093
