273. Integer to English Words

Task:

Convert a non-negative integer to its english words representation. Given input is guaranteed to be less than 231 - 1.

For example,

123 -> "One Hundred Twenty Three"
12345 -> "Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Forty Five"
1234567 -> "One Million Two Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Seven"

Some Questions:

How to spell 1 to 19?

How to spell 20,30,40,...,90?

Solution:

According to the grammar, it reads integer three digits by three digits. So we can convert the Integer into English three digits by three digits.

Thus we need to implement a helper to convert a number within 1000. At last, For every group of three digits, add the suffix of weight to it.

Attention to corner cases!

Code:

    const string Mil="Million";
    const string Tho="Thousand";
    const string Bil="Billion";
    const string Hun="Hundred";
    string tab[20]={"Zero","One","Two","Three","Four","Five","Six","Seven","Eight","Nine","Ten","Eleven","Twelve","Thirteen","Fourteen","Fifteen","Sixteen","Seventeen","Eighteen","Nineteen"};
    string tens[10]={"Zero","Ten","Twenty","Thirty","Forty","Fifty","Sixty","Seventy","Eighty","Ninety"};
    string calc(int n,int w)
    {
        if(n==0)return "";
        string ret="";
        if(n>=100)
        {
            if(ret!="")ret+=" ";
            ret+=tab[n/100]+" "+Hun;
        }
        n%=100;
        if(n>0)
