Convert integer to words

Question

For the purpose of styling data visualizations, I\'d like to be able to display an integer using words (e.g.

\"Two thousand and seventeen\"

Answer 1

Option 1:

Use the as.english function from the 'english' package:

library(english)

as.english(2017)

Option 2:

Use the replace_number function from the 'qdap' package.

library(qdap)

replace_number(2017)

Option 3:

Use the numbers_to_words function from the 'xfun' package.

library(xfun)

numbers_to_words(2017)

Answer 2

Asides from the function I linked in the comments, here's another solution from a GitHub gist:

source("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hack-r/22104543e2151519c41a8f0ce042b31c/raw/01731f3176b4ee471785639533d38eda4790ab77/numbers2words.r")

numbers2words(0)

[1] "zero"

numbers2words(5)

[1] "five"

numbers2words(50000)

[1] "fifty thousand"

numbers2words(50000000000000)

[1] "fifty trillion"
