How to convert number to words in java

Question

We currently have a crude mechanism to convert numbers to words (e.g. using a few static arrays) and based on the size of the number translating that into an english text. B

Answer 1

This is another way...(with limited range)

public static String numToWord(Integer i) {

 final  String[] units = { "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three",
        "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven",
        "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen",
        "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen" };
 final  String[] tens = { "", "", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty",
        "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety" };
    if (i < 20)
        return units[i];
    if (i < 100)
        return tens[i / 10] + ((i % 10 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 10) : "");
    if (i < 1000)
        return units[i / 100] + " Hundred"
                + ((i % 100 > 0) ? " and " + numToWord(i % 100) : "");
    if (i < 1000000)
        return numToWord(i / 1000) + " Thousand "
                + ((i % 1000 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 1000) : "");
    return numToWord(i / 1000000) + " Million "
            + ((i % 1000000 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 1000000) : "");
}

Answer 2

Take a look at Tradukisto. It's a Java library I've written which does the job.

Answer 3

You can use RuleBasedNumberFormat. for example result will give you Ninety

ULocale locale = new ULocale(Locale.US);  //us english
Double d = Double.parseDouble(90);
NumberFormat formatter = new RuleBasedNumberFormat(locale, RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);
String result = formatter.format(d);

It supports a wide range of languages.

Answer 4

class NumberToWord {
    private static Map<Integer, String> numbers = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
    private static Set<Integer> numberSet = new TreeSet<Integer>(new Comparator<Integer>() {
        public int compare(Integer o1, Integer o2) {
            return o2 - o1;
        }
    });

    static {
        init();
        numberSet.addAll(numbers.keySet());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getNumberInWord(1898765));
    }

    /*
     * convert positive numbers in word format number > 0 only
     */
    static String getNumberInWord(int number) {
        StringBuilder word = new StringBuilder();
        for (Integer n : numberSet) {
            if (number > 0 && number >= n) {
                int div = number / n;
                String strNum = numbers.get(div);
                if (strNum == null) {
                    word.append(getNumberInWord(div));
                }
                // for less than 100, we don't need to say 1
                if (strNum != null && (div > 1 || n > 100))
                    word.append(strNum + " ");

                word.append(numbers.get(n) + " ");
                number = number % n;
            }
        }
        return word.toString();
    }

    static void init() {
        numbers.put(0, "Zero");
        numbers.put(1, "One");
        numbers.put(2, "Two");
        numbers.put(3, "Three");
        numbers.put(4, "Four");
        numbers.put(5, "Five");
        numbers.put(6, "Six");
        numbers.put(7, "Seven");
        numbers.put(8, "Eight");
        numbers.put(9, "Nine");
        numbers.put(10, "Ten");
        numbers.put(11, "Eleven");
        numbers.put(12, "Twelve");
        numbers.put(13, "Thirteen");
        numbers.put(14, "Fourteen");
        numbers.put(15, "Fifteen");
        numbers.put(16, "Sixteen");
        numbers.put(17, "Seventeen");
        numbers.put(18, "Eighteeen");
        numbers.put(19, "Nineteen");
        numbers.put(20, "Twenty");
        numbers.put(30, "Thirty");
        numbers.put(40, "Forty");
        numbers.put(50, "Fifty");
        numbers.put(60, "Sixty");
        numbers.put(70, "Seventy");
        numbers.put(80, "Eighty");
        numbers.put(90, "Ninty");
        numbers.put(100, "Hundred");
        numbers.put(1000, "Thousand");
        numbers.put(1000000, "Million");
        numbers.put(100000000, "Billion");
    }

}

Answer 5

Here is a very simple class NumberInWords.java that can have the job done very easily:

String numberInWords = NumberInWords.convertNumberToWords(27546); //twenty seven thousand and five hundred forty six

It's important to know that this class is only capable of converting int datatype.
