Convert Number to Words in Java
- Convert Four-Digit Numbers to Words in Java
- Convert Fifteen-Digit Numbers to Words in Java
This tutorial demonstrates how to convert numbers to words in Java.
Sometimes we need to convert numbers to words; for example, 123 should convert to one hundred twenty-three . This can be achieved in Java with small or large numbers.
Convert Four-Digit Numbers to Words in Java
First, let’s try converting a four-digit number to words in Java. For example, if the number is 4444 , it should be converted to four thousand four hundred forty-four .
package delftstack; public class Example // function to convert numbers to words static void ConvertFourDigittoWords(char[] InputNumber) // Get the length of a number int NumberLength = InputNumber.length; // Basic cases if (NumberLength == 0) System.out.println("The input is an empty string."); return; > if (NumberLength > 4) System.out.println("The Length of the input number is more than 4 digits."); return; > // create an array for numbers in words; the first string will not be used. String[] Single_Numbers = new String[] "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine" >; // create an array for numbers in word; the first string will not be used. String[] Two_Numbers = new String[] "", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen" >; //create arrays for numbers in words; the first two strings will not be used. String[] Tens_Numbers = new String[] "", "", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety" >; String[] Hundred_Thousand = new String[] "Hundred", "Thousand" >; // this is used for debugging purposes only System.out.print(String.valueOf(InputNumber) + " = "); // for a single digit number if (NumberLength == 1) System.out.println(Single_Numbers[InputNumber[0] - '0']); return; > // the while loop will be used if the number length is more than 0 int i = 0; while (i InputNumber.length) // for the first two digits if (NumberLength >= 3) if (InputNumber[i] - '0' != 0) System.out.print(Single_Numbers[InputNumber[i] - '0'] + " "); System.out.print(Hundred_Thousand[NumberLength - 3] + " "); > --NumberLength; > // for the last two digits else // 10-19 will be explicitly handled. if (InputNumber[i] - '0' == 1) int NumebrSum = InputNumber[i] - '0' + InputNumber[i + 1] - '0'; System.out.println(Two_Numbers[NumebrSum]); return; > // the 20 will be explicitly handled else if (InputNumber[i] - '0' == 2 && InputNumber[i + 1] - '0' == 0) System.out.println("twenty"); return; > // for the rest of two digit numbers from 20 to 99 else int a = (InputNumber[i] - '0'); if (a > 0) System.out.print(Tens_Numbers[a] + " "); else System.out.print(""); ++i; if (InputNumber[i] - '0' != 0) System.out.println( Single_Numbers[InputNumber[i] - '0']); > > ++i; > > // main method public static void main(String[] args) ConvertFourDigittoWords("6542".toCharArray()); ConvertFourDigittoWords("876".toCharArray()); ConvertFourDigittoWords("34".toCharArray()); ConvertFourDigittoWords("9".toCharArray()); ConvertFourDigittoWords("76544".toCharArray()); ConvertFourDigittoWords("".toCharArray()); > >
The code above will convert any number with up to four digits into words. See output:
6542 = Six Thousand Five Hundred Forty Two 876 = Eight Hundred Seventy Six 34 = Thirty Four 9 = Nine The Length of the input number is more than 4 digits. The input is an empty string.
But what if the number is more than four digits? We can also create a program that accepts numbers with up to 15 digits.
Convert Fifteen-Digit Numbers to Words in Java
In the above example, we used Hundred and Thousand for four-digit numbers. In this example, we need to use Trillion , Billion , and Million ; let’s try to implement an example that converts a number of up to 15 digits into words.
package delftstack; public class Example static String LongNumberstoWords(long Long_Number) long Number_Limit = 1000000000000L; long Current_Limit = 0; long M = 0; // If the number is zero, return zero if (Long_Number == 0) return ("Zero"); // Array for the powers of 10 String Multiplier_Array[] = "", "Trillion", "Billion", "Million", "Thousand" >; // Array for 20 numbers String FirstTwenty_Numbers[] = "", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen" >; // Array for multiples of ten String Tens_Numbers[] = "", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety" >; // If the number is less than 20. if (Long_Number 20L) return (FirstTwenty_Numbers[(int)Long_Number]); String Result = ""; for (long x = Long_Number; x > 0; x %= Number_Limit, Number_Limit /= 1000) //the current accessible limit Current_Limit = x / Number_Limit; // the current multiplier may be bigger than your number while (Current_Limit == 0) // Set x as the remainder obtained when the number was divided by the limit x %= Number_Limit; // Shift the multiplier by dividing the limit by 1000 Number_Limit /= 1000; // Get the current value in hundreds. Current_Limit = x / Number_Limit; // multiplier shifting ++M; > // Add the hundreds' place if the current hundred is greater than 99, if (Current_Limit > 99) Result += (FirstTwenty_Numbers[(int)Current_Limit / 100] + " Hundred "); // Bring the current hundred to tens Current_Limit = Current_Limit % 100; // If the value in tens belongs to 1 to 19, add using the FirstTwenty_Numbers if (Current_Limit > 0 && Current_Limit 20) Result += (FirstTwenty_Numbers[(int)Current_Limit] + " "); // If the current limit is now a multiple of 10, pass the tens else if (Current_Limit % 10 == 0 && Current_Limit != 0) Result += (Tens_Numbers[(int)Current_Limit / 10 - 1] + " "); // If the value is between 20 to 99, print using the FirstTwenty_Numbers else if (Current_Limit > 20 && Current_Limit 100) Result += (Tens_Numbers[(int)Current_Limit / 10 - 1] + " " + FirstTwenty_Numbers[(int)Current_Limit % 10] + " "); // shift the multiplier is it has not become less than 1000 if (M 4) Result += (Multiplier_Array[(int)++M] + " "); > return (Result); > public static void main(String args[]) long InputNumber = 70000000000121L; System.out.println(InputNumber+" = "+ LongNumberstoWords(InputNumber) + "\n"); InputNumber = 987654321; System.out.println(InputNumber+" = "+ LongNumberstoWords(InputNumber) + "\n"); InputNumber = 90807060540001L; System.out.println(InputNumber+" = "+ LongNumberstoWords(InputNumber) + "\n"); InputNumber = 909090909090909L; System.out.println(InputNumber+" = "+ LongNumberstoWords(InputNumber) + "\n"); > >
The code above will convert the long number to 15 digits into words. See the output:
70000000000121 = Seventy Trillion One Hundred Twenty One 987654321 = Nine Hundred Eighty Seven Million Six Hundred Fifty Four Thousand Three Hundred Twenty One 90807060540001 = Ninety Trillion Eight Hundred Seven Billion Sixty Million Five Hundred Forty Thousand One 909090909090909 = Nine Hundred Nine Trillion Ninety Billion Nine Hundred Nine Million Ninety Thousand Nine Hundred Nine
