I'm trying to convert numbers into english words, for example 1234 would become: "one thousand two hundred thirty four".
My Tactic goes like this:
Separate the digits to three and put them on Array (
finlOutPut
), from right to left.Convert each group (each cell in the
finlOutPut
array) of three digits to a word (this what thetriConvert
function does). If all the three digits are zero convert them to"dontAddBigSuffix"
From Right to left, add thousand, million, billion, etc. If the
finlOutPut
cell equals"dontAddBigSufix"
(because it was only zeroes), don't add the word and set the cell to" "
(nothing).
It seems to work pretty well, but I've got some problems with numbers like 190000009, converted to: "one hundred ninety million". Somehow it "forgets" the last numbers when there are a few zeros.
What did I do wrong? Where is the bug? Why does it not work perfectly?

I've modified the posting from Šime Vidas - http://jsfiddle.net/j5kdG/ To include dollars, cents, commas and "and" in the appropriate places. There's an optional ending if it requires "zero cents" or no mention of cents if 0.
This function structure did my head in a bit but I learned heaps. Thanks Sime.
Someone might find a better way of processing this.
Code:
After spending some time in googling and playing with others code i made a quick fix and reusable function works well for numbers upto 99,99,99,999. use :
number2text(1234.56);
will returnONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR RUPEE AND FIFTY-SIX PAISE ONLY
. enjoy !this is the solution for french language it's a fork for @gandil response
i hope it will help
I think, I have solution that's simpler and easier to understand; it goes by slicing the number, it works up to 99 lakhs crore.
Please check out my code pen
I think this will help you
