Converting numbers into English
-
What I would ask myself is: Why did you re-invent the wheel? Was this good value for money for your employer? There are many many solutions available to do this (for free) on the interwebs. Why did it need to be 'terse and fast' - surely better to be 'easily readable, debuggable and maintainable'?

1. Why not? 2. To learn the language. Beats the heck out of "Hello World". 3. For the same reason people draw doodles. 4. Why not? :)

How about to roman numerals ;)

Oh, yeah - that's fun - actually quite difficult!

Oh oh, that's not how you do phone numbers.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
ROFL!

You had to go no further than our very own CP[^] or I stole this from StuckOverflow...
public static string NumberToWords(int number)
{
if (number == 0)
return "zero";if (number < 0) return "minus " + NumberToWords(Math.Abs(number)); string words = ""; if ((number / 1000000) > 0) { words += NumberToWords(number / 1000000) + " million "; number %= 1000000; } if ((number / 1000) > 0) { words += NumberToWords(number / 1000) + " thousand "; number %= 1000; } if ((number / 100) > 0) { words += NumberToWords(number / 100) + " hundred "; number %= 100; } if (number > 0) { if (words != "") words += "and "; var unitsMap = new\[\] { "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen" }; var tensMap = new\[\] { "zero", "ten", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty", "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety" }; if (number < 20) words += unitsMap\[number\]; else { words += tensMap\[number / 10\]; if ((number % 10) > 0) words += "-" + unitsMap\[number % 10\]; } } return words;}

Yeah - I thought about doing it that way but it wasn't fun to write! I'm sure I overcomplicated it, but - whatever - I had fun!

That's it - it's a doodle!

Really? Convert's slow? Thanks!

A parser isn't really applicable here: you can't exactly parse a string of digits into English...
Convert.ToInt32(N % p);Use a cast. There is only one useful method in Convert -- ChangeType. For all other uses for Convert, there are better alternatives. -

Not very flexible.

I added that to my version last night. And today I wondered about adding support for doing thousands as hundreds, e.g. "twenty-five hundred".

Phone numbers aren't numbers.

Only as difficult as you like.

True -0 but the likelihood of the number system changing any time soon is low ;)

Well he said he did it at work, so I assumed it was something required for the business rather than being done as a leisure activity. So re-inventing the wheel is not generally a good thing for a business to do with so trivial a thing.

Again - he was doing it at work & I assumed that he wasn't doing it for fun but for a business requirement.

I did most of my Turing Machine experiments at a previous job. :~

No sir, fuck you. I would suggest purchasing a sense of humor: you plainly lack one and are so far up your own ass I can't believe you can see well enough to have written these posts. Have a nice day, twat.
