Fixnum to String

Fixnum to String Script

Okay, I admit this is really kinda useless, but I made a script that (badly) converts Intergers to Words. The reason I say badly is because, if you put in something like 1065 it come out as TenSixFive, instead of One Thousand Sixty-Five. But Anyway, I think someone could go far with this, but I just made it for my needs, so...

#==============================================================================
# ** Fixnum 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  ???
#==============================================================================
class Fixnum
  def to_word
    if self == 1
      return "One"
    elsif self == 2
      return "Two"
    elsif self == 3
      return "Three"
    elsif self == 4
      return "Four"
    elsif self == 5
      return "Five"
    elsif self == 6
      return "Six"
    elsif self == 7
      return "Seven"
    elsif self == 8
      return "Eight"
    elsif self == 9
      return "Nine"
    elsif self == 10
      return "Ten"
    end
  end
end

To Use it just put something like:

p = 10
p.to_word

yeah, you have to get it to check the number of digits before you convert, so that you can tell it how to convert it. Then you have to split the number into pieces before converting it. For example, 139,461 would be split like this: 1, 39, 4, 61. Then, you would convert it in the following format: 1= One + hundred, 39 = thirty-nine + thousand, 4 = four + hundred, 61 = sixty-one. (The thousand will vary depending on how many digits the number has before the decimal and which one you are looking at) You have to leave the and out instead of putting it beween the 4 and the 61, becasue in math, and represents a decimal point. (Like forty dollars and seventy-two cents) Then, you wouyld just put them back together, using the proper locations to insert something like a comma. If you did it right, it would turn out as one hundred thirty-nine thousand, four hundred sixty-one.
