Thread: Cant solve this C prob plz help

Hello everyone,

Following is the problem as given in the "Programming in C" book in Chapter 6, Pg.94

Code:

Write a program that takes an integer keyed in from the terminal and extracts and displays each digit of the integer in English. So, if the user types in 932, the program should display

nine three two

Remember to display “zero” if the user types in just a 0. (Note: This exercise is a hard one!)

I was able to reach the basic statements but couldnt go further when logic came into the picture.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main ()

{

int number ;

clrscr () ;

printf ("Enter number\n\n") ;

scanf ("%d", &number) ;

I strongly feel that if statements are gonna be used in this case


Plz help

if:

Code:

char words[][]={
{"zero"},
{"one"},
{"two"},
};

and the digits were say: 120

could the digits match up with the index for the right word of a row in the words[row][] array?

That is, words[0] equals "zero", words[1] row equals "one", etc.

Main problem is: given an integer, how to peel off digits. A sequence of divide-by-10 to extract the units digit... Or another way would be to convert the integer to a string of digits. Then loop through from the beginning and index into a word array like Adak suggested.
