I am attempting to write code that will convert a Numeric (Currency) String to an Alpha String. The program receives a currency value input from the user and I want the program to display the Alpha representation for that value.
Example:
User inputs "500". The program converts it to and displays it as "$500.00". I want the program to also display the Alpha representation "Five Hundred Dollars".
Thank you for your help.

What have you tried so far? You'll find that we aren't very helpful if all you've done to solve the problem is sit and stare blankly at your monitor before posting this thread.
1: Concatenate strings. strcat(), or if you use std::string's there is an overloaded + operator. It only works for strings and chars though. To concatenate other types use an std::stringstream.
2: Traverse the string version of the number (or use modulus) to get each induvidual digit. Then use some table-lookup to convert it.
You could always go the hard route of using locales and the money_put facet. Good luck trying to get that to work. :)
Messing around with strings is probably easier for you at this point.
