    I have a good start

    I do apologize. Now that I posted it in C++ and not C (haha), I was wondering if I could have a little help extending my program from 1-999(which works fine) to -1billion to 1billion. I technically am getting full credit on the project but I was hoping for extra credit to boost my B letter grade for my GPA.
    Would this involve more strings each for thousands, millions, and billions?
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<fstream>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    #include<cmath>
    #include <cstdlib>
    using namespace std;
    
    string sayones(int o)
    {
    	string sayones[] = {"","one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine","ten","eleven","twelve","thirteen","fourteen","fifteen","sixteen","seventeen","eighteen","nineteen"};
    	return sayones[o];  
    }
    
    string saytens(int t)
    {
    	string s[] = {"","","twenty","thirty","forty","fifty","sixty","seventy","eighty","ninety"};
    	return s[t]+" ";  
    }
    
    string sayhun(int n)
    {
    	return sayones(n)+" hundred ";;  
    }
    
    string saythree         
    
    int main()
    {
        int num;
        cout<<"please input 0-999: ";
        cin>>num;
        
        
        
        int h, t, o;
        h = num/100;
        t = (num-100*h)/10;
        o = num%10;
    	
    	if (num<=10||num<20){
    			string word_form1 = sayones(num-h*100);
    			cout<< word_form1 <<endl;
    		}
    			else {
    			if (num<=99){
    					string word_form3 = saytens(t)+ sayones(o);
    					cout<< word_form3 <<endl;
    				}
    				else {
    				if (num==0) {
    					cout<<"zero";
    				}
    
    					else {
    						if (t==1&&num>99){
    							string word_form2 = sayhun(h)+ sayones(num-h*100);
    							cout<< word_form2 <<endl;					}
    						else {
    							string word_form4 = sayhun(h)+ saytens(t)+ sayones(o);
    							cout << word_form4<<endl;
    					}
    
    				}
    			}
    }
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
    }
    Sorry if this isnt how it is supposed to look for posting it in code form. I am learning.

    Mostly I am looking for some advice on the billions part. I did well on the first part of te program and now I am turning to community help.

    One hundred and twenty three million, one hundred and twenty three thousand, one hundred and twenty three.

    Once you've got the pattern for groups of 3 digits, it's pretty simple.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    so you are saying making a fourth string, say sayfour which basically adds all the previous strings into it but change one word to thousand or million or billion instead?
    also how do you make the program "check" for a negative sign so it can cout the word negative?

    I'm sure you'll figure something out if you think about it a bit longer.

    This one is pretty easy. What is the mathematical condition for a number to be negative?
