num2char: Convert numbers to words

In raredd/rawr: rawr miscellaneous

Convert numbers to words

Description

Convert whole or decimal numbers to word equivalent. N2W is equivalent to n2w/num2char but defaults to capitalizing the first word.

Usage

num2char(x, cap = FALSE, informal = FALSE, hyphen = TRUE, and = FALSE)

n2w(x, cap = FALSE, informal = FALSE, hyphen = TRUE, and = FALSE)

N2W(x, cap = TRUE, informal = FALSE, hyphen = TRUE, and = FALSE)

Arguments

x	numeric vector, less than '1e15'
cap	logical; if TRUE, capitalizes the first word
informal, and	logical; insert "and" between hundreds and tens
hyphen	logical; insert hyphen when the number is between 21 and 99 (except 30, 40, etc)

Details

Whole numbers twenty-one through ninety-nine are hyphenated when they are written out whether used alone or as part of a larger number; for example: "twenty-one" or "one million twenty-one."

Informal and formal case differ only by the use of "and" to separate 1-99: "one hundred one" is the formal case, and "one hundred and one" is the informal case.
