Shell script to read a number and write the number in words

in Categories Decision Making last updated April 5, 2008

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

#!/bin/bash
# Shell script to read a number and write the number in words. Use case
# control structure. For example 12 should be print as one two
