Four is the number of letters in the ...: Difference between revisions

:*   '''twenty─three'''   is considered one word   (which is hyphenated).

:* &nbsp; no &nbsp; <big>''' ''and'' '''</big> &nbsp; words are to be used when spelling a (English) word for a number.

'''2,000,000,000''' &nbsp; is two billion, &nbsp; ''not'' &nbsp; two milliard.

 

 

;Task:

'''4 2 3 6 2 7'''

:* &nbsp; Only construct as much as is needed for the never─ending sentence.

Take care with the requirements. As noted, numberToString(23) = twenty-three. Therefore numberToString(723423) = seven hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred twenty-three (note the two "-").

It is interesting how identical lengths align with 20 columns.

Output:

Uses the Lingua::EN::Numbers module to generate both cardinal and ordinal numbers. This module places commas in number words between 3-orders-of-magnitude clusters. E.G. <code>12345678.&ordinal</code> becomes: twelve million, three hundred forty-five thousand, six hundred seventy-eighth. Uses a custom 'no-commas' routine to filter them out for accurate character counts. Generates the 'sentence' lazily so only the words needed are ever calculated and reified.
