Hello disbub,
Here is my quick solution which works up to 9999
If you want improve it, so that it works with ten-tousands you need to do it similar as I done with numbers ending with 11-19.
Here is my quick solution which works up to 9999
Code:
import string
digits ={1:"one",2:"two",3:"three",4:"four",5:"five",
6:"six",7:"seven",8:"eight",9:"nine"}
tens={1:"ten",2:"twenty",3:"thirty",4:"fourty",5:"fifty",
6:"sixty",7:"seventy",8:"eighty",9:"ninty"}
special={11:"eleven",12:"twelve",13:"thirteen",14:"fourteen",15:"fifteen",
16:"sixteen",17:"seventien",18:"eighteen",19:"nineteen"}
order={1:"ten",2:"hundert",3:"thousand",4:"tentousand",5:"hundret tousand"}
result = []
tens_counter= 0
number=''
while not number.isdigit():
number = raw_input("Enter a number:")
n=int(number)
while n > 0:
print "n = %d" % n
# special 11..19
if tens_counter == 0:
last_two_digits = n % 100
if last_two_digits in special.keys():
print special[last_two_digits]
result.append(special[last_two_digits])
n = n/100
tens_counter += 2
continue
# normal
digit = n % 10
if tens_counter == 0:
print digits[digit]
result.append(digits[digit])
elif tens_counter == 1:
print tens[digit]
result.append(tens[digit])
elif tens_counter >=2:
print digits[digit]+"-"+ order[tens_counter]
result.append(digits[digit]+"-"+ order[tens_counter])
n = n / 10
tens_counter += 1
#print result
result.reverse()
#print result
print "The Result is: %s" % string.join(result)If you want improve it, so that it works with ten-tousands you need to do it similar as I done with numbers ending with 11-19.
at last - hopefully this source for numbers to 9999 has no more bugs 
for number above 9999 it would be a little bit more complicated, we need then store the numbers in the list (or stack) too (not only the words) and do the similar circus with ten- and hundert-thousands/millions.. as we done with tens and hunderts...but this would be other program.
Code:
import string
digits ={1:"one",2:"two",3:"three",4:"four",5:"five",
6:"six",7:"seven",8:"eight",9:"nine"}
tens={1:"ten",2:"twenty",3:"thirty",4:"fourty",5:"fifty",
6:"sixty",7:"seventy",8:"eighty",9:"ninty"}
special={11:"eleven",12:"twelve",13:"thirteen",14:"fourteen",15:"fifteen",
16:"sixteen",17:"seventien",18:"eighteen",19:"nineteen"}
order={1:"ten",2:"hundert",3:"thousand",4:"tenthousand",5:"hundret tousand"}
result = []
tens_counter= 0
number=''
while not number.isdigit():
number = raw_input("Enter a number:")
n=int(number)
while n > 0:
print "tens_counter = %d" % tens_counter
print "n = %d" % n
# special 11..19
if tens_counter == 0:
last_two_digits = n % 100
if last_two_digits in special.keys():
print special[last_two_digits]
result.append(special[last_two_digits])
n = n/100
tens_counter += 2
continue
# normal
digit = n % 10
print "digit = %d" % digit
if tens_counter == 0:
if digit != 0:
print digits[digit]
result.append(digits[digit])
elif tens_counter == 1:
if digit != 0:
print tens[digit]
result.append(tens[digit])
elif tens_counter >=2:
if digit != 0:
print digits[digit]+"-"+ order[tens_counter]
result.append(digits[digit]+"-"+ order[tens_counter])
n = n / 10
tens_counter += 1
#print result
result.reverse()
#print result
print "The Result is: %s" % string.join(result)Another way to look at the same problem. Should work for any number with 12 digits (not counting decimal) but after that it will have rounding issues during the necessary string conversions:
Didn't add in handling for negative numbers, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
