String equivalent of a double

[edel_ong]

Hi, I would like to know how to convert a double to string. Example: double = 3,456,789.30 string equivalent = three million four hundred fifty-six thousand and seven hundred eighty-nine & 30/100 Thanks a lot! I really need this. :)

Theres no built in soltuion for this in C# or the .Net Framework, but google[^] has lots of results.

digitNames = new string[] { "", "one", "two" ... };
tensDigitNames = new string[] { "", "ten-", "twenty-", "thirty-" ... };
magnitudeNames = new string[] { "", " thousand", " million" ... };

1. Initialize a string called "result" to the fractional part preceded with an "&"
2. Initialize an integer array called "number" of the digits of the number, from LSD to MSD
   (in your example, {9, 8, 7, ... 3})
3. Iterate through the digits in "number" to get the variables "curDigit" and "curDigitIdx"
4. Perform the following logic using curDigitIdx (the index in your array) and curDigit
   switch (curDigitIdx % 3) {
   case 0:
   result = string.Format("{0}{1} {2}", digitNames[curDigit],
   magnitudeNames[curDigitIdx / 3], result);
   break;
   case 1:
   result = string.Format("{0}{1}", tensDigitNames[curDigit], result);
   break;
   case 2:
   result = string.Format("{0} hundred {1}", digitNames[curDigit], result);
   break;
   }

Note that the preceding code is simply a starting point, and that the formatting will require a number of special cases (such as getting 11 to be printed as "eleven" as opposed to "ten-one" and 50 being printed as "fifty" instead of "fifty-". Hope this helps,

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays -Jeff
