    Default Number in words java proram

    Hello i have to create a program witch given a int number random has to convert it in words for example int number is 4 it should return "four", should return the number as series of words (all lowercase). So far i have written this(but it seems it is not working ):

    public static final String[] units = { "", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four","Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven",
    "Twelve","Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen","Eighteen", "Nineteen" };

    public static final String[] tens = { "","","Twenty","Thirty","Forty", "Fifty","Sixty","Seventy","Eighty","Ninety"};

    String numberInWords(int number){
    if (number < 20) {return units[number];}
    if (number < 100) {return tens[number / 10] + ((number % 10 != 0) ? " " : "") + units[number % 10];}
    if (number < 1000) {return units[number / 100] + " Hundred" + ((number % 100 != 0) ? " " : "")
    + numberInWords(number % 100);}

    return numberInWords(number);

    What is the error that you get when you compile/run the code?

    Dear Bogdan321:

    Hello, and a pleasant day.

    Without using arrays, I strongly suggest the power of division (/) and modulus division ( % ) of the number you want to convert into words. For example, you declare something like:

    int number = 987;


    987 composes of three number places: hundreds place (9), the tens place (8), and the ones place (7).

    Now we need to "extract" the hundred place (9) by doing this arithmetic operation:

    int h;
    h = number / 100;

    This will give the value of 9 to our variable h. Then using a simple switch/case, we could do some thing like:

    switch (h) {
       case 1: "one hundred "; break;
       case 2: "two hundred "; break;
    }

    Just add more case statement until you reach case 9 : "nine hundred "; break;

    Then we only have 87. So to "extract" 87 from 987, we could use modulus division:

    int hrem;
    hrem = number % 100;
    //add "special if/else" condition if hrem is 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 or 19

    Now, the variable hrem is equal to 87. Now we need to "extract" the tens place (8) by doing this arithmetic operation:

    int t;
    t = hrem / 10;

    This will give the value of 8 to our variable t. Then using a simple switch/case, we could do something like:

    switch (t) {
       case 1: "ten "; break;
       case 2: "twenty "; break;
    }

    Just add more case statement until you reach case 9 : "ninety "; break;

    Then last, you need the ones place (7). Thus:

    int o;
    o = hrem % 10;

    Then using a simple switch/case, we could do some thing like:

    switch (o) {
       case 1: "one "; break;
       case 2: "two "; break;
    }

    Again, just add more case statement until you reach case 9 : "nine "; break;


    NOTE: Please take note that you need a "special" if/else condition if the variable hrem is between 11 to 19. You may notice on my comments above.

    Hope this will help you.


    Thank you and God bless us all.
