| Input | Output | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|

three-hundred and eleven four-hundred and eighteen five-hundred and nine too small |
3 500 123 9 |
five-hundred one-hundred and twenty three nine |
Hints and Guidelines
We can first print the hundreds as a text – (the number / 100) % 10, after that the tens – (the number / 10) % 10 and at the end the ones – (the number % 10).
The first special case is when the number is exactly rounded to 100 (e.g. 100, 200, 300 etc.). In this case we print "one-hundred", "two-hundred", "three-hundred" etc.
The second special case is when the number formed by the last two digits of the input number is less than 10 (e.g. 101, 305, 609 etc.). In this case we print "one-hundred and one", "three-hundred and five", "six-hundred and nine" etc.
The third special case is when the number formed by the last two digits of the input number is larger than 10 and smaller than 20 (e.g. 111, 814, 919 etc.). In this case we print "one-hundred and eleven", "eight-hundred and fourteen", "nine-hundred and nineteen" etc.
