Problem:
Write a program to read a number and print the text of that number.

Exam1:
Enter a Number? 5843
Five Thousands Eight Hundreds Forty Three

Exam2:
Enter a Number? 8476362741
Eight billion four hundred seventy six million three hundred sixty two thousand seven hundred forty one

I was told to use recursion function as a hint

Any idea ?

What to Post

State your problem clearly and provide all necessary details:

  • the relevant portion of your code, or all of it
  • the expected output
  • the actual output (or the full error)
    :trophy: Gold Standard: Minimal Reproducible Example
Where to Post

Provide the relevant code in the message, and format it nicely with a code block*. If it's too much for one message, you can upload it:

  • Compiler Explorer for most C and C++ snippets
  • OnlineGDB for interaction, debugging
    :no_entry: Do not post screenshots, let alone photos of your screen!
* Use /code if you don't know how to format code blocks

the entire thing is wrong

Isn't it also "fourty" instead of "forty"? Or is "forty" some AE spelling?

idk whatever you got the idea

welp

i am a begginer,but my approach would be to make a function that sees where the digit is,and append the correct thing to it
if the digit is in the 4th place,append "thousand" or something
and continue for all digits

#

im sure theres a better way

make sense ill think about it

Recursion is really similar to induction proofs (math).
You have a big problem, but you always only chop off a single piece of that and reduce the problem to a similar, but simpler problem.
You can just consume digits from the right and for each number (or sometimes 2) you take off, you prepend the corresponding name to this/these digit/s, and after every 3 numbers you prepend the next "big word" (e.g. thousand, million, etc.)
