Getting the scale - converting numbers to words

Question

join replace string segment

anyone know how i would go about joining and/or replacing parts of a string. sort of like a spell checker?

I was thinking that I would just do a spell check type of deal maybe to sort out fivety and ten one results from the final output string

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Use a dictionary

Answer 2

😀 But will I have to store every possible combination of numbers that would contain a ten or a teen? (50, 16 etc). Assume you are talking about std::map?

I said fivety earlier as I was just putting ty in the 10's power of my code and it was outputting fivety, threety and stuff and then after it had got all the words I was going to spell check. To replace those words with the correct versions.

Since then I was thinking of another approach but havent done anything cause I sorta lost motivation on this one
