Int to English words in Java

Question

Here I am to ask something weird.

I would like to ask that is there any method/logic by which we can convert an integer value to a string value containing the Englis

Answer 1

While the accepted answer works, it would probably be best to use already-implemented functions to perform this. ICU4J contains a class com.ibm.icu.text.RuleBasedNumberFormat that can be used to perform this operation. It also supports languages other than English, and the reverse operation, parsing a text string to integer values.

Here is an example, assuming that we have the ICU4J dependency in the classpath:

import com.ibm.icu.text.RuleBasedNumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

RuleBasedNumberFormat nf = new RuleBasedNumberFormat (Locale.UK, RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);
nf.format(24);
// The result is "twenty-four"
