Changing math rules in javascript

**steve 727** · Feb 6, 2008, 07:00

Hi all

Can anyone help me as I have got stuck (again)
Fotiman (very kindly) coded this script which turns numbers (22) into words (strings (twenty two)
Then converts this to English and French,
twenty two dollars 00 cents / vingt deux euros 00 centimes
Which all works fine.
but I have 4 main languages on my site English / French / Spanish / German
so now I need the same script to do the same with Spanish & German but the rules are different,

German:

00 > 20 same as English
20 > 99 repeated the same as English 0 to 9 for each 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90.
With a little twist all the numbers are reversed (ones then tens)
for example: 21 (twenty one) = 1&20 (one & twenty)

100’s 100 = hundred, 101 = hundred one , 102 = hundred two

200 = two hundred, 201= two hundred one, 202= two hundred two
Repeated to 900

1000’s the same as hundreds

So it not that different to the English counting system, but I have tried to change it around without any results
So can someone point me to the right bit of code I should be looking at. And as the spanish number system is somewhat chaotic I need to know what dose what,
Fotiman has kindly placed comments for me, and I can change the all the languages in the
,'~1': {en: 'one', fr: 'un'} part of the code,

Hope I’ve explained it well enough for you to explan if not let me know,
Many thanks

Steve

Hmm. Tricky one. For example, the number 101 ...

EN = one hundred and one
FR = cent et un
GE = hundert eins

the number 21 ...

EN = twenty one
FR = vingt et un
GE = ein und zwanzig

So as you can see, one could by ein or eins depending on context.

Here's a quick stab at it. Note, I didn't do anything yet with the hundreds+ cases. I wanted to start with the 0 - 99 case first. Also, in this example, I'm getting all English ('en') values for the numbers (since I don't know German). But once you add your translations it should be easy to replace all instances of 'en' in the new function. Note, I've removed the French version so we can focus on German.

I can help you with the Spanish if you want.

1 to 20:

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece, catorce, quince, dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve, veinte.

21 to 29:
correct way:

veinte y uno, veinte y dos, veinte y tres, etc.

However, with the 20s people are lazy and this is pretty much the way it is:

veintiún, veintidós, veintitres, veinticuatro, veinticinco, veintiseis, veintisiete, veintiocho, veintinueve

after that, it is the "normal" way. So:
30: treinta
40: cuarenta
50: cincuenta
60: sesenta
70: setenta
80: ochenta
90: noventa

and with these it is always [ten] y [unit]. E.g.:

45: cuarenta y cinco
67: sesenta y siete
88: ochenta y ocho
52: cincuenta y dos
99: noventa y nueve

With the 100s it gets complex again.
100: cien
200: doscientos
300: trescientos
400: cuatrocientos
500: quinientos
600: seiscientos
700: setecientos
800: ochocientos
900: novecientos

With the 1000s it's easier. 1000 is "mil" and the other thousands follow this rule:
[[hundreds] [tens] units] ["mil"]
e.g.:

4000: cuatro mil
9000: nueve mil
14000: catorce mil
254000: doscientos cincuenta y cuatro mil
930482: novecientos treinta mil cuatrocientos ochenta y dos

Millions:
1m: un millón
2m: dos millones
3m: tres millones
...
8m: ocho millones
9m: nueve millones

so:

2338671: dos millones trescientos treinta y ocho mil seiscientos setenta y uno
1083077: un millón ochenta y tres mil setenta y siete
4000301: cuatro millones trescientos uno

How great are you lot,
not only do you come back with the javascript answers you also help me with the Spanish (which I don't speak),

Ian, I do know about this do you think it is possible to use something like the
French 21 (special rule) ,'twentyone' : {en: 'twenty one', fr: 'vingt et un'},

Fotiman, main thanks again for all your time, I ain't had time to play yet but will get back soon.

Raffles, You have help me here because the Spanish must be spelled right,
which I did not have all the website give the veintiuno,
and as this if for writing bank cheques it must be right.
so can you tell me if you was to write a cheque which spelling would be excepted by Spanish banks.

Best regards

Steve

**Raffles** · Feb 6, 2008, 13:01

As it happens, I have never written a cheque in Spanish. However... check out this rather brilliant site:

http://www.chequefacility.org/

I just found it and it seems like it should help you a lot!
