In this program converting Non-negative numbers to English words through Java Program. You can use the same logic to implement with other languages like C, C++, C#, Python, etc.
This program is most frequently asked in programming label tests or interviews to check your logical skills. You can also utilize the same code while generating invoices, bills, reports where want to show sum, average, gross total etc. in form of words.
For Example :
| Input | Output |
| 123 | One Hundred Twenty Three |
| 1234 | One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four |
| 12345 | Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Forty Five |
| 123456 | One Hundred Twenty Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Six |
| 1234567 | One Million Two Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Seven |
| 1234568 | One Million Two Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Eight |
| 12345670 | Twelve Million Three Hundred Forty Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy |
| 123456709 | One Hundred Twenty Three Million Four Hundred Fifty Six Thousand Seven Hundred Nine |
| 1234567090 | One Billion Two Hundred Thirty Four Million Five Hundred Sixty-Seven Thousand Ninety |
Java Program
To convert a number to English word core logic is to check 10th position of the number the add words for the same. Based on the range between billion to thousand then take reminder and add word (thousand, million or billion) etc. then further dividend of the number by the range and further pass for convert as long as not reaching to less than thousand. Finally, when numbers reach to between 1-20 take the words from map 1-20 range.
