Having fun with jquery -- Numbers to words

Having some fun with jquery, its cool btw...
Type in some numbers in the input box, (it should be in focus when u load this page, if not well u know who to blame - jquery of course, not me :-P)
And if you (un)knowingly type in something other than a number, it should tell you whats wrong.
Then click "Convert to words" and you'll get your number in words... one in Indian number system and another one in international standard. And, if you are really trying this out, you can use keyboard enter, escape.. i bound them to calculate and hide the results etc.

Just some plain short fun :)

[you can use enter and escape]
Enter a number:


And yeah, of course, here's the code (use this link to convert ur javascript into blogger friendly code):


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://abhi-sanoujam-blogspot-posts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function NumberToWords() {

var units = [ "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six",
"Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten" ];
var teens = [ "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen",
"Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen", "Twenty" ];
var tens = [ "", "Ten", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty",
"Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety" ];

var othersIndian = [ "Thousand", "Lakh", "Crore" ];

var othersIntl = [ "Thousand", "Million", "Billion", "Trillion" ];

var INDIAN_MODE = "indian";
var INTERNATIONAL_MODE = "international";
var currentMode = INDIAN_MODE;

var getBelowHundred = function(n) {
if (n >= 100) {
return "greater than or equal to 100";
};
if (n <= 10) {
return units[n];
};
if (n <= 20) {
return teens[n - 10 - 1];
};
var unit = Math.floor(n % 10);
n /= 10;
var ten = Math.floor(n % 10);
var tenWord = (ten > 0 ? (tens[ten] + " ") : '');

return tenWord + unitWord;
};

return "greater than or equal to 1000";

var word = getBelowHundred(Math.floor(n % 100));

n = Math.floor(n / 100);
var hun = Math.floor(n % 10);
word = (hun > 0 ? (units[hun] + " Hundred ") : '') + word;

return word;
};

return {

if (isNaN(n)) {
return "Not a number";
};

var word = '';
var val;

Notes to myself. Gotchas when posting javascript to blogger:

1) You need to have your js in one single line

2) If you do some OOPs in your javascript, don't forget to end your statements with ";", specially if you are declaring functions as a variable. Like this:
var myFunc : function(someArg) {
alert('Hi');
};
I'm talking about the last ";" at the third line.

3) If you are using this link to convert your javascript into one single line, don't forget to strip off one liner comments from your code. I know its my fault there :)

1000

In India One Thousand Zero
Internationally One Thousand Zero

Hi, thanks for the code. Very helpful indeed. I modified it a bit to add the "cents" part so that I can translate dollars & cents. =)

Cool... hope you fixed the bug Chris pointed out above, should be quite easy to fix :)

Hi,

Thanks for this script! Any chance you can post the mod for dollars and cets?

Thanks,

Hi, I was the anonymous guy on Jan 4th. Thanks to your post I've written my first jquery plugin =).

Currently only works for converting numbers to dollars & cents.

Plugin with example can be downloaded at this address: http://lab.okijana.com/num2words/num2words.zip

Thanks!

"Zero" with ""

however won't display zero.

Late to visit the blog thank you for your post

Here the code to remove extra zeros.

Change the getBelowHundred bit as

var getBelowHundred = function(n) {
if (n >= 100) {
return "greater than or equal to 100";
};
if (n > 0 && n <= 10) {
return units[n];
}else if(n == 0){
return "";
};
if (n <= 20) {
return teens[n - 10 - 1];
};
var unit = Math.floor(n % 10);
n /= 10;
var ten = Math.floor(n % 10);
var tenWord = (ten > 0 ? (tens[ten] + " ") : '');
var unitWord ="";
alert(unit);
if(unit != 0) unitWord = (unit > 0 ? units[unit] : '');
return tenWord + unitWord;
};
