How to program numbers into words in Pascal?
« on: June 20, 2022, 04:42:36 pm »
Hello,
I have to build a program with Pascal where numbers need to be written into word
For example: 25 to twenty-five
The limit is 999999.

I think arrays are a good way but how can I do that?

I think the best is not the code, but to start formulating the rules to change numbers into words.

E.g.  hundreds tens singles, but there are exceptions like eleven which is not ten one  (while 21 is twenty one). And count yourself lucky that English is still quite regular.

Look here for inspiration (or exact code  :P)

(Don't submit this as homework   ;D )

I think I have it in Croatian, but that probably won't work for you.

Homework? That teacher must be crazy, giving such not beginner-friendly task.

I wrote one, when I worked as an admin, I wrote it for used in a small payroll program I built for the HRD. I even converted it to Excel and used by someone working as a chief accounting. I'm okay to share it here, but I think no one would be interested, it is for Indonesian money.

@Jannik004

Seriously, homework or not, it is a good exercise if you want be a programmer, don't simply copy and use the code you got from other. Analyze, think and understand how it works. There you can learn about parsing and string manipulation.

My solution is don't do it directly from the number as integer but make it a string first, because parsing a string is easier than number (at least that is what I believe). Then process each S[n], which will be ten .. hundred .. thousand and so on, but pay attention on certain n, like the case of eleven, twelve .. as mentioned by marcov.

Here is mine, I put it in Public Domain, hope it can be useful for someone to learn Pascal:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. function Terbilang (S : string) : string;
  2. const
  3.   Angka : array ['0'..'9'] of string [9] =
  4.           ('', 'satu ', 'dua ', 'tiga ', 'empat ', 'lima ', 'enam ',
  5.           'tujuh ', 'delapan ', 'sembilan ');
  6. var
  7.   Hasil : string [108];
  8.   Z     : string [8];
  9. begin
  10.   if (S = '0') then begin
  11.     Terbilang := 'Nol.';
  12.     exit
  13.     end;
  14.   if (S [1] = '-') then begin
  15.     Terbilang := '( Negatif ).';
  16.     exit
  17.     end;
  18.   Z := S;
  19.   while (Z [0] < #8) do Z := '0' + Z;
  20.     case (Z [1]) of

Nice example. Correct, and it hides the example for the teacher.. ::)
There are only a few forum members that can understand Bahasa Indonesia, let alone teachers  :-X

For OP: the pascal examples from rosetta code - above is the link - compile in FreePascal. Study them and write your own....

If it is not homework, you can simply use those (First example needs {$mode delphi} second probably needs {$mode ISO} or maybe {$mode extendedpascal})

Specialize a type, not a var.

Thank you, you helped me a lot but i don't know how i can use this code in Lazarus now because i don't know how can i link this with the formula.
I left a picture to illustrate the problem.
How can i link this with the "calculate" button and with the input and output window?
