Thread: converting digits into words

Hi I have to make a program to generate the table of values from 0 to 9
It must have 6 coloms with headings: Number, Double, Triple, Squared, Cubed and Words. I've done everything but last colomn, don't know how to convert digits into words and where to put that in a code. any advise?
Also to have the right result inside of the functions I had to use (x+1) otherwise result was wrong, and I do not understand why?
I know it must be simple because we had only 5 classes so far, but still can't make it.
thanks in advance

Code:

// program to generate the tables of values from 0 to 9
//no input from user

#include<stdio.h>

int x,a,b,c,d;
int result;

// functions
int twice(int x)	//2 times the number
{	
	result=(x+1)*2;
	return (result);
}

int triple(int x)	//3 times the number
{	
	result=(x+1)*3;
	return(result);
}

int squared(x)		//number times itself
{	
	result=(x+1)*(x+1);
	return(result);
}
int cubed(x)		//number times itself 3 times
{
	result=(x+1)*(x+1)*(x+1);
	return (result);
}

main()
{ 
	printf("Number\tDouble\tTriple\tSquared\t Cubed\t Words\n");
	for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
	{
		printf("%3i%8i%8i%9i%9i\n", x, a, b, c, d);
	a=twice(x);
	b=triple(x);
	c=squared(x);
	d=cubed(x);
	}

	return 0;
}

First of all, why is x, a, b, c, d global variables? And especially, why is result a global variable?? x,a,b,c,d should be declared inside main and initialized to 0. And especially result should be declared inside every function

Second, (and most important)look at this:

Code:

for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
{
	printf("%3i%8i%8i%9i%9i\n", x, a, b, c, d);
	a=twice(x);
	b=triple(x);
	c=squared(x);
	d=cubed(x);
}

You print and then calculate? That is why you do x+1. Put the printf after the functions and you should be ok.

Third, indent properly before you post, as I did for you.

Forth, and not important, here is a much slimmer version of your program, just to get an example how programs can be written in fewer lines. Don't try to do this as a bigginer, just keep this in mind:

Code:

// program to generate the tables of values from 0 to 9
//no input from user

#include<stdio.h>

int twice(int x)
{	
	return x*2;
}

int triple(int x)
{
	return x*3;
}

int squared(x)
{	
	return x*x;
}
int cubed(x) 
{ 
        return x*x*x; 
}

main()
{ 
        int x;
	printf("Number\tDouble\tTriple\tSquared\t Cubed\t Words\n");
	for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
		printf("%3i%8i%8i%9i%9i\n", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x););
	return 0;
}

Saved 5 variables and some lines of code

Thank you, I like all your advise, and very helpfull.

Code:

for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
		printf("&#37;3i%8i%8i%9i%9i\n", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x););
return 0;

We weren't shown how to do this, but I like it , I do not need to declare extra variables

Still trying find out what the code to convert digits into words.
Please excuse me if I'm typing incorrectly, just 5th year since I started to learn English

Still trying find out what the code to convert digits into words.

You'll need two character arrays as follows:

The first array we'll classify as units. It will contain "zero", "one", "two", "three", thru "nineteen"

The second array we'll classify as tens. It will contain "twenty", "thirty", thru "ninety"

For starters, you will have to divide the input number by 100. If the resulting number is greater than zero, then use this resulting number as an index into the first units array to print the text at that index.

Obviously, there is more code to complete the digits to text conversion. But this is a homework assignment. So, you'll have to put some effort into it. Post your questions if you get stuck

Perhaps you may take a look at this.. []

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void convert(int n,char s[])
{
 char *ones[]={"","One ","Two ","Three ","Four ","Five ","Six ","Seven ","Eight ","Nine ","Ten ","Eleven ","Twelve ","Thirteen ","Fourteen ","Fifteen ","Sixteen ","Seventeen ","Eighteen ","Nineteen "};
 char *tens[]={"","","Twenty ","Thirty ","Forty ","Fifty ","Sixty ","Seventy ","Eighty ","Ninety "};
 n>19 ? printf("&#37;s%s%s",tens[n/10],ones[n%10],s):printf("%s%s",ones[n],s);
}

int main(void)
{
 long n=111100077;

 if(n>=10000000)
	convert(n/10000000,"Crore ");
 if((n%10000000)/100000)
	convert((n%10000000)/100000,"Lakh ");
 if((n%100000)/1000)
	convert((n%100000)/1000,"Thousand ");
 if((n%1000)/100)
	convert((n%1000)/100,"Hundred ");
 if(n%100)
	convert(n%100,"");
 return 0;
}

You need to put restriction since it wont work for more than 999999999. I hope you will be able to do it

My problem was that I could not printf words under Words heading .
I read all suggestions but since we did not learn arrays yet I was using if statement.
The output is not what I expect, 'Zero , One etc. get prints in a first colomn where it must be in a in last one .

Here is an output what I am getting:

Code:

Number  Double  Triple  Squared  Cubed   Words
Zero  0       0       0        0        0
One  1       2       3        1        1
Two  2       4       6        4        8
Three  3       6       9        9       27
Four  4       8      12       16       64
Five  5      10      15       25      125
Six  6      12      18       36      216
Seven  7      14      21       49      343
Eight  8      16      24       64      512
Nine  9      18      27       81      729
Press any key to continue . . .

Any advise what I have to do to fix it.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

// functions
int twice(int x)	//2 times the number
{	int result;
	result=x*2;
	return (result);
}

int triple(int x)	//3 times the number
{	int result;
	result=x*3;
	return(result);
}

int squared(x)		//number times itself
{	int result;		
	result=x*x;
	return(result);
	
}
int words(x) //the number printed out(zero, one, etc)

{
	if(x==0)
		printf("Zero");
	if(x==1)
		printf("One");
	if(x==2)
		printf("Two");
	if(x==3)
		printf("Three");
	if(x==4)
		printf("Four");
	if(x==5)
		printf("Five");
	if(x==6)
		printf("Six");
	if(x==7)
		printf("Seven");
	if(x==8)
		printf("Eight");
	if(x==9)
		printf("Nine");
	return(x);
}


int cubed(x)		//number times itself 3 times
{ int result;
	result=x*x*x;
	return (result);
}


main()
{ int x;

	
	printf("Number\tDouble\tTriple\tSquared\t Cubed\t Words\n");

	for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
		printf("&#37;3i%8i%8i%9i%9i\n", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x), words(x));
	

	return 0;
}

The output is not what I expect, 'Zero , One etc. get prints in a first colomn where it must be in a in last one

It appears to me that the words function is being executed prior to the execution of the printf statement that has the words function in it. Thus, the printf in the words function is being executed prior to the execution of the printf in main. Thus, your "words" are printed prior to the numbers.

An alternative:

Code:

     for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
	{
		printf("%3i%8i%8i%9i%9i ", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x) );
		words(x);
		printf("\n");

          }

What is the largest number that you will have to display as a word? I'm hoping it's not 729 as displayed in your post.

That is a simple table with numbers from 0 to 9

Code:

for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
	{
		printf("&#37;3i%8i%8i%9i%9i ", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x) );
		words(x);
		printf("\n");

          }

I tried it before, it doesn' work. The "words" doesn't get printed at all . Pulling my hair out, what else can I do to make it printed.

Of course it works. Why do you think it doesn't?

Well, this code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

// functions
int twice(int x)    //2 times the number
{   
    int result;
    result=x*2;
    return (result);
}

int triple(int x)   //3 times the number
{   
    int result;
    result=x*3;
    return(result);
}

int squared(int x)      //number times itself
{   
    int result;     
    result=x*x;
    return(result);

}
int words( int x) //the number printed out(zero, one, etc)

{
    if(x==0)
        printf("Zero");
    if(x==1)
        printf("One");
    if(x==2)
        printf("Two");
    if(x==3)
        printf("Three");
    if(x==4)
        printf("Four");
    if(x==5)
        printf("Five");
    if(x==6)
        printf("Six");
    if(x==7)
        printf("Seven");
    if(x==8)
        printf("Eight");
    if(x==9)
        printf("Nine");
    return(x);
}

int cubed(int x)        //number times itself 3 times
{ 
    int result;
    result=x*x*x;
    return (result);
}

main()
{ 
    int x;
    printf("Number\tDouble\tTriple\tSquared\t Cubed\t Words\n");
    for(x=0; x<10; ++x)
    {
        printf("%3i%8i%8i%9i%9i ", x, twice(x), triple(x), squared(x), cubed(x) );
        words(x);
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Gives me this output:

Number Double Triple Squared Cubed Words
0 0 0 0 0 Zero
1 2 3 1 1 One
2 4 6 4 8 Two
3 6 9 9 27 Three
4 8 12 16 64 Four
5 10 15 25 125 Five
6 12 18 36 216 Six
7 14 21 49 343 Seven
8 16 24 64 512 Eight
9 18 27 81 729 Nine

Which is correct, except for the indentation.
