Question

Convert a number to it's text equivalent

Hello all,

I am currently working on a project in which I need to take a number that will be in the form of a currency, and convert it into it's text representation.

EX: 15.00

Becomes: Fifteen dollars 00/100

Or

EX: 66.00

Becomes: Sixty-six 00/100

If someone has a function that can do this, or can outline a good method on how to do so, please let me know. For some reason the logic on this has me a little stumped. Thanks.

    might be overkill but icu4j's rule based formatting will handle this in several

    locales plus duration ("2 days from now") & ordinal ("1st", "2nd") formatting.

    specifically:

    Check cflib.org.  I cannot recall the name of the function, but I am pretty sure they have one that does this.
