Using recursion to display the users input

[wavo7]

Hello all,
Let's say that the user puts in ANY number he wants to. How would you be able to show that number to him in WRITTEN FORM. Like this:
You enter: 5690
The output would say: Five thousand six hundred ninety

I can get the user's input, and hold onto it, but figuring out how to write it out is another story. Any helpful hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

ur case is possible

get the number as a string and find out its length

do some sort of a manipulation like this

ex number = 1234

length=4

first step
1234/1000 and get the remainder 1,234
then do 1234 - 1*1000 which will give u 234
then do 234/100 , 2,34
234 - 2*100 = 34
then do 34/10 = 3,4
34 - 3*10 = 4

each time use a case statement to print out the exact name for the number

hope this helps
