Convert number to written number-CodePudding

Is there a nice way to write code so that if someone type in the int 1 I want to return the string "one" and if they type 2 return "two" and so on.

it does not have to be infinity

I was thinking to have 2 lists:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

["one", "two, "three", "four", "five", "six"]

and the somehow loop through them.

Instead of having to write:

if input == 1:
    return "one"
elif input == 2:
    return "two"

an so on.....

Someone have a nicer way maybe?

You can use a dictionary

number = int(input())
number_dictionary = {1: "one", 2: "two", 3: "three", 4: "four", 5: "five", 6: "six"}
return number_dicionary[number]

CodePudding user response：

One solution is to make a list and then used the passed integer as the index

numbers = ["zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"]
return numbers[input]

I highly encourage you not to use the word input as a variable name, as it shadows the built-in name for Python's input function.

>>>import inflect
>>>p = inflect.engine()
>>>p.number_to_words(99)
