Answer 1

I've just written paisa.js to do this, and it handles lakhs and crores correctly as well, can check it out. The core looks a bit like this:

const regulars = [
  {
    1: 'one', 2: 'two', 3: 'three', 4: 'four', 5: 'five', 6: 'six', 7: 'seven', 8: 'eight', 9: 'nine'
  },
  {
    2: 'twenty', 3: 'thirty', 4: 'forty', 5: 'fifty', 6: 'sixty', 7: 'seventy', 8: 'eighty', 9: 'ninety'
  }
]

const exceptions = {
  10: 'ten',
  11: 'eleven',
  12: 'twelve',
  13: 'thirteen',
  14: 'fourteen',
  15: 'fifteen',
  16: 'sixteen',
  17: 'seventeen',
  18: 'eighteen',
  19: 'nineteen'
}

const partInWords = (part) => {
  if (parseInt(part) === 0) return
  const digits = part.split('')
  const words = []
  if (digits.length === 3) {
    words.push([regulars[0][digits.shift()], 'hundred'].join(' '))
  }
  if (exceptions[digits.join('')]) {
    words.push(exceptions[digits.join('')])
  } else {
    words.push(digits.reverse().reduce((memo, el, i) => {
      memo.unshift(regulars[i][el])
      return memo
    }, []).filter(w => w).join(' '))
  }
  return words.filter(w => w.trim().length).join(' and ')
}
