Algorithmus für benachbarte Zahlen Grouper

Question

Ich meine damit Folgendes:

Angesichts der eingegebenen Menge von Zahlen:

1,2,3,4,5 wird zu "1-5".

1,2,3,5,7,9,10,11,12,14 wird zu "1-3, 5, 7, 9-12, 14".

Das ist das Beste, was mir eingefallen ist: [C#]

Das kommt mir ein wenig schlampig vor. Die Frage ist also, ob es dafür eine lesbarere und/oder elegantere Lösung gibt.

public static string[] FormatInts(int[] ints)
{
    if (ints == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("ints"); // hey what are you doing?

    if (ints.Length == 0)
        return new string[] { "" }; // nothing to process

    if (ints.Length == 1)
        return new string[] { ints[0].ToString() }; // nothing to process

    Array.Sort<int>(ints); // need to sort these lil' babies
    List<string> values = new List<string>();

    int lastNumber  = ints[0]; // start with the first number
    int firstNumber = ints[0]; // same as above

    for (int i = 1; i < ints.Length; i++)
    {
        int current     = ints[i];
        int difference  = (lastNumber - current ); // compute difference between last number and current number

        if (difference == -1) // the numbers are adjacent
        {
            if (firstNumber == 0) // this is the first of the adjacent numbers
            {
                firstNumber = lastNumber;
            }
            else // we're somehow in the middle or at the end of the adjacent number set
            {
                lastNumber = current;
                continue;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (firstNumber > 0 && firstNumber != lastNumber) // get ready to print a set of numbers
            {
                values.Add(string.Format("{0}-{1}", firstNumber, lastNumber));
                firstNumber = 0; // reset
            }
            else // print a single value
            {
                values.Add(string.Format("{0}", lastNumber));
            }
        }

        lastNumber = current;
    }

    if (firstNumber > 0) // if theres anything left, print it out
    {
        values.Add(string.Format("{0}-{1}", firstNumber, lastNumber));                
    }

    return values.ToArray();
}
