[java] How to convert number to words in java

We currently have a crude mechanism to convert numbers to words (e.g. using a few static arrays) and based on the size of the number translating that into an english text. But we are running into issues for numbers which are huge.

10183 = Ten thousand one hundred eighty three
90 = Ninety
5888 = Five thousand eight hundred eighty eight

Is there an easy to use function in any of the math libraries which I can use for this purpose?

This question is related to java math numbers jscience

The answer is


This is another way...(with limited range)

public static String numToWord(Integer i) {

 final  String[] units = { "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three",
        "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven",
        "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen",
        "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen" };
 final  String[] tens = { "", "", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty",
        "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety" };
    if (i < 20)
        return units[i];
    if (i < 100)
        return tens[i / 10] + ((i % 10 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 10) : "");
    if (i < 1000)
        return units[i / 100] + " Hundred"
                + ((i % 100 > 0) ? " and " + numToWord(i % 100) : "");
    if (i < 1000000)
        return numToWord(i / 1000) + " Thousand "
                + ((i % 1000 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 1000) : "");
    return numToWord(i / 1000000) + " Million "
            + ((i % 1000000 > 0) ? " " + numToWord(i % 1000000) : "");
}

Find this code for Indian rupees and in lakhs & crores than Million and Billion. You can pass String or Bigdecimal to the method. This will give the correct output for paisa as well.

}

When you run this program for 56721351(as Bigdecimal) and 76521351.61(as String) the output is

56721351 = Rupees Five Crore Sixty Seven Lakhs Twenty One Thousands Three Hundred Fifty One Only
76521351.61 = Rupees Seven Crore Sixty Five Lakhs Twenty One Thousands Three Hundred Fifty One And Sixty One Paise  Only

You can use ICU4J, Just need to add POM entry and code is below for any Number, Country and Language.

POM Entry

        <groupId>com.ibm.icu</groupId>
        <artifactId>icu4j</artifactId>
        <version>64.2</version>

Code is

public class TranslateNumberToWord {

/**
 * Translate
 * 
 * @param ctryCd
 * @param lang
 * @param reqStr
 * @param fractionUnitName
 * @return
 */
public static String translate(String ctryCd, String lang, String reqStr, String fractionUnitName) {
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

    Locale locale = new Locale(lang, ctryCd);
    Currency crncy = Currency.getInstance(locale);

    String inputArr[] = StringUtils.split(new BigDecimal(reqStr).abs().toPlainString(), ".");
    RuleBasedNumberFormat rule = new RuleBasedNumberFormat(locale, RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);

    int i = 0;
    for (String input : inputArr) {
        CurrencyAmount crncyAmt = new CurrencyAmount(new BigDecimal(input), crncy);
        if (i++ == 0) {
            result.append(rule.format(crncyAmt)).append(" " + crncy.getDisplayName() + " and ");
        } else {
            result.append(rule.format(crncyAmt)).append(" " + fractionUnitName + " ");
        }
    }
    return result.toString();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String ctryCd = "US";
    String lang = "en";
    String input = "95.17";

    String result = translate(ctryCd, lang, input, "Cents");
    System.out.println("Input: " + input + " result: " + result);
}}

Tested with quite a big number and output would be

Input: 95.17 result: ninety-five US Dollar and seventeen Cents
Input: 999999999999999999.99 result: nine hundred ninety-nine quadrillion nine hundred ninety-nine trillion nine hundred ninety-nine billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine US Dollar and ninety-nine Cents

This program can convert up to 102 digits long number. Suggestions and comments are highly appreciated.

I've developed a Java component to convert given number into words. All you've to do is - just copy the whole class from Java program to convert numbers to words and paste it in your project.

Just invoke it like below

Words w = Words.getInstance(1234567);
System.out.println(w.getNumberInWords());

My program supports up to 10 million. If you want, you can still extend this. Just below the example output

2345223 = Twenty Three Lakh Fourty Five Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Three
9999999 = Ninety Nine Lakh Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine
199 = One Hundred Ninety Nine
10 = Ten

I implemented it like this

package com.stack.overflow.number.in.english;

import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class ActualImplementation {

    public static ResourceBundle readPropertyFile = ResourceBundle
            .getBundle("NumberEnglishRepresentation");

        System.out.println(ActualImplementation.main(-2));
    }

    public static String main(Integer number) {
        int power;
        // Calculate Number of digits

        Integer numberOfDigits = number > 0 ? (int) Math.log10((double) number) + 1
                : 1;
        String output = "";
        // If number is negative convert it to positive an append minus to
        // output
        if (Integer.signum(number) == -1) {
            output = "minus ";
            number = number < 0 ? number * -1 : number;
        }
        String stringVal = String.valueOf(number);

        if (number <= 20 || number == 30 || number == 40 || number == 50
                || number == 60 || number == 70 || number == 80 || number == 90
                || number == 100 || number == 1000)
            output += readPropertyFile.getString(stringVal);

        else {
            int i;
            for (i = 0; i < numberOfDigits; i++) {

                if (number != 0) {

                    numberOfDigits = number > 0 ? (int) Math
                            .log10((double) number) + 1 : 1;

                    power = (int) Math.pow(10, numberOfDigits - 1);
                    // If number is like 10,001 then print ten first and then
                    // remaining value

                        power = (int) Math.pow(10, numberOfDigits - 2);
                    }

                    if (readPropertyFile.containsKey(String.valueOf(number)))
                        output += readPropertyFile.getString(String
                                .valueOf(number));
                    else {
                        // As the digits at units and tens place are read
                        // differently
                        if (numberOfDigits > 2) {

                            output += readPropertyFile.getString(String
                                    .valueOf(number / power))
                                    + readPropertyFile.getString(String
                                            .valueOf(power));
                        } else {
                            output += readPropertyFile.getString(String
                                    .valueOf(number - number % power));

                        }
                    }
                    number = (int) (number % power);

                }
            }
        }

        return output;
    }
}

and the resource file is :

0=zero
1=one
2=two
3=three
4=four
5=five
6=six
7=seven
8=eight
9=nine
10=ten 


11=eleven
12=twelve
13=thirteen
14=fourteen
15fifteen
16=sixteen
17=seventeen
18=eighteen
19=nineteen
20=twenty

30=thirty
40=fourty
50=fifty
60=sixty
70=seventy
80=eighty
90=ninety

100=hundred
1000=thousand
100000=Lakh

This one is implemented till 10 lakhs only


Here is a very simple class NumberInWords.java that can have the job done very easily:

String numberInWords = NumberInWords.convertNumberToWords(27546); //twenty seven thousand and five hundred forty six

It's important to know that this class is only capable of converting int datatype.


You probably don't need this any more, but I recently wrote a java class to do this. Apparently Yanick Rochon did something similar. It will convert numbers up to 999 Novemdecillion (999*10^60). It could do more if I knew what came after Novemdecillion, but I would be willing to bet it's unnecessary. Just feed the number as a string in cents. The output is also grammatically correct.

In this post i have just update Yanick Rochon's code. I have make it workable with lower version of java 1.6 and i was getting the output for 1.00 = one and  hundredth. So i have update the code. New i get the output for 1.00 = one and zero hundredth.

I don't not what should i do. Add a new answer or edit that post. As the answer is highly ranked so i have made a new post with updating the code. I have just change this two things have mention above.

ICU4J contains nice number-spellout support. The files with the "rules" can be easily edited, and it's no problem to add other languages (we did it e.g. for Polish and Russian).


You can use RuleBasedNumberFormat. for example result will give you Ninety

ULocale locale = new ULocale(Locale.US);  //us english
Double d = Double.parseDouble(90);
NumberFormat formatter = new RuleBasedNumberFormat(locale, RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);
String result = formatter.format(d);

It supports a wide range of languages.

Because you cannot have a general algorithm for every locale, no. You have to implement your own algorithm for every locale that you are supporting.

** EDIT **

Just for the heck of it, I played around until I got this class. It cannot display Long.MIN_VALUE because of bit restrictions... but I presume it could be modified and change long value types to double for decimal or even bigger numbers It can display any numbers up to 66 digits and 26 decimals using a string representation of the number. You may add more ScaleUnit for more decimals...

Note: I have used all three enum for constant variables, you can also use array.

Hope this will help you, Let me know if you have any doubt in comment section.

I think that this solution is not the best, since it works only for int, but i think it's great for a beginner.

            "",        // 1

    };

    public static String convert(final int n) {
        if (n < 0) {
            return "minus " + convert(-n);
        }

        if (n < 20) {
            return units[n];

        }

        if (n < 1000) {

        }

        return convert(n / 1000000000) + " billion"  + ((n % 1000000000 != 0) ? " " : "") + convert(n % 1000000000);
    }

    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        final Random generator = new Random();

        int n;
        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
            n = generator.nextInt(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

            System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));
        }

        n = 1000;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));

        n = 2000;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));

        n = 10000;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));

        n = 11000;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));

        n = 999999999;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));

        n = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        System.out.printf("%10d = '%s'%n", n, convert(n));
    }
}

The test creates 20 random numbers up to Integer.MAX_VALUE and than some that know to be problematic, because of 0, 10, etc.. Output:

Intuitive solution

1: Build a sorted matrix of [value - word] type

2: Find the closest value from matrix for which n/value > 0 (can use binary_search)

3: Recursively build the left and the right part of the number.

Your answer is left_part + word + right_part
