C Program for Converting digit/number to words

Converting Digits/ Numbers in words in C

Here, in this page we will discuss the program for numbers in words in C .The conversion of numbers in words is just a conversion of numeric values to English format of reading numbers. This code supports the conversion of numbers from 0-9999 in English Format. Digits have different places when read from it’s once place to above. Different places for numbers are :

  • Single digits:- Ones
  • Two Digits:-Tens
  • Three Digits:- Hundreds
  • Four Digits:- Thousands

Etc. as in this program we will be converting only upto 4 digits

numbers in words in C

Algorithm

  • Step 1:- Start.
  • Step 2:- Taking input as a string from the user.
  • step 3:- Check the length of the input.
  • step 4:- if the length is zero print ’empty’ and if the length is greater than 4 print ‘give a string of specific length’
  • Step 5:- if length id between 1 – 4, Create arrays for different values.
  • Step 6:- Checking the length of the string.
  • Step 7:- According to the place of the digit, we will show the output.
  • Step 8:- End.

        printf("%s\n", two_digits[sum]);
        return;
      }
      else if (*num == '2' && *(num + 1) == '0') 
      {
        printf("twenty\n");
        return;
      }
      else 
      {
        int i = *num - '0';
        printf("%s ", i? tens_multiple[i]: "");
        ++num;
        if (*num != '0')
          printf("%s ", single_digits[*num - '0']);
      }
    }
    ++num;
  }
}
int main(void)
{
  char num[4];
  scanf("%s",num);
  convert_to_words(num);
  return 0;
}
Output:
1121 : one thousand one hundred twenty one
