273. Integer to English Words

Description

Convert a non-negative integer num to its English words representation.

 

Example 1:

Input: num = 123
Output: "One Hundred Twenty Three"

Example 2:

Input: num = 12345
Output: "Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Forty Five"

Example 3:

Input: num = 1234567
Output: "One Million Two Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Seven"

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= num <= 231 - 1

Solutions

The approach is designed to convert a numerical value into its English words representation, with the maximum limit capped at billions. The process is structured to manage up to four groups of three digits each.

To facilitate this conversion, a structured method to process groups of three digits is essential. The methodology involves:

  1. Preparation:
    • Create an array containing the English words for numbers 1 through 19, as these numbers have unique names that do not follow a repetitive pattern.
    • Prepare another array for the tens place (20, 30, …, 90), as these numbers follow a pattern and are used as bases for constructing other numbers in their range.
  2. Processing a Three-Digit Number (n):
    • The hundreds place is determined by dividing n by 100 (n/100).
    • The last two digits are obtained by calculating n % 100.
    • The tens place is extracted by dividing the last two digits by 10 (n%100/10).
    • The ones place is found by n % 10.
  3. Handling the Last Two Digits:
    • If the value is less than 20, the corresponding English word is directly fetched from the prepared array.
    • If the value is 20 or more, the words for the tens and ones places are retrieved from their respective arrays.
  4. Addressing the Hundreds Place:
    • If there is a non-zero hundreds place, its English word is appended with “Hundred” to indicate the hundreds place.

This helper function is invoked up to four times within the main function to construct each part of the number’s English words representation, inserting “Thousand”, “Million”, and “Billion” as appropriate to denote the groups’ positions.

Final Adjustments:

  • After assembling the full English representation, any trailing spaces are removed to ensure the format is correct.
  • A special check is conducted for an input of 0; in such cases, the function returns “Zero” to accurately reflect the numerical value.

This methodical approach ensures that numbers are accurately and comprehensively translated into their English words representation, taking into account the unique naming conventions of the English language for numbers.
