Script logic is as follows:
a) First read number into a shell variable
b) Next get one digit at a time
c) Use simple case control structure and loop to find digit equivalent in words
Sample script to convert numbers into equivalent words
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 | #!/bin/bash # Shell script to read a number and write the number in words. Use case # control structure.
