Converting Words to Numbers in Java
5 answers
I'm blocked with convert words to numbers on java. I have to convert any words to numbers, but I do not know how to start this work.
I created a small loop for the first 19 numbers. But when they start to come out variable like "" spaces or "-" scripts, "hundred", "thousand" and so on, I get stuck and there's no way to get the problem out.
public static long words(String s) {
for (int i = 0; i <s.length() ; i++) {
String w = "";
w+= s.charAt(i);
w=s;
}
return UniqueWords(s);
}
public static long UniqueWords(String s) {
if (s == "zero") {
return 0;
} else if (s == "one") {
return 1;
} else if (s == "two") {
return 2;
} else if (s == "three") {
return 3;
} else if (s == "four") {
return 4;
} else if (s == "five") {
return 5;
} else if (s == "six") {
return 6;
} else if (s == "seven") {
return 7;
} else if (s == "eight") {
return 8;
} else if (s == "nine") {
return 9;
} else if (s == "ten") {
return 10;
} else if (s == "eleven") {
return 11;
} else if (s == "twelve") {
return 12;
} else if (s == "thirteen") {
return 13;
} else if (s == "fourteen") {
return 14;
} else if (s == "fifteen") {
return 15;
} else if (s == "sixteen") {
return 16;
} else if (s == "seventeen") {
return 17;
} else if (s == "eighteen") {
return 18;
} else if (s == "nineteen") {
return 19;
}
return 0;
}
The objective of the program is that you can convert any word of a number to the quintillon number
Any help will be welcome.
As you can see, I just landed in the programming world and I still have a hard time working with Strings.
Thank you!

On what basis do you want to convert the numbers?

You should uses.equals("num")for comparing strings. In this case it might also be useful to uses.equalsIgnoreCase("num")to ensure that your input is not case sensitive.

The first 20 numbers are indeed the trickiest, with many "outliers" like "twelve" or "fifteen". Try the next ten, or up to 100. Do you start to see a pattern?

You should uses.equals("num")for comparing strings. In this case it might also be useful to uses.equalsIgnoreCase("num")to ensure that your input is not case sensitive.

The first 20 numbers are indeed the trickiest, with many "outliers" like "twelve" or "fifteen". Try the next ten, or up to 100. Do you start to see a pattern?
