Is there a way to convert numbers into word form?

[Clousive (Clouds)]

Hello! I would like to know if there is a way to convert a number into word form for example: Converting 1 to “one”.

If there are any ways to convert a number to word form or even vice-versa please tell me!

Here is an interesting and complex way of doing this that supports all numbers, including infinity and negatives.

Changing number as a word to the number value

if you want a more simple one,

local numToWord = { --create a table
	[1] = "One",
	[2] = "Two",
	[3] = "Three",
	[4] = "Four",
	[5] = "Five",
	[6] = "Six"
    ... --and so on
}
--then when you want to call it
local wordNum = numToWord[1]
print(wordNum) <-- One

There are an infinite amount of numbers so that’s gonna be one long dictionary.

I ment if you are just going to use a few, I used it for a hotbar, so I only needed 9 in total (for the Enum)

[Forummer]

local numStrs = {[0] = "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine"}
local numSymbols = {["."] = "Dot", ["-"] = "Negative"}

local function convertNumToStr(num)
	local convertedStr = ""

	for char in tostring(num):gmatch(".") do
		if numStrs[tonumber(char)] then
			convertedStr ..= numStrs[tonumber(char)].." "
		elseif numSymbols[char] then
			convertedStr ..= numSymbols[char].." "
		end
	end
	
	return convertedStr
end

print(convertNumToStr(100)) --One Zero Zero
print(convertNumToStr(-100)) --Negative One Zero Zero
print(convertNumToStr(3.14)) --Three Dot One Four

If you’re looking for a more comprehensive implementation let me know.
