# Instructions
22

3-
Given a number from 0 to 999,999,999,999, spell out that number in English.
3+
Given a number, your task is to express it in English words exactly as your friend should say it out loud.
4+
Yaʻqūb expects to use numbers from 0 up to 999,999,999,999.

## Step 1
6+
Examples:
67

7-
Handle the basic case of 0 through 99.
8-
9-
If the input to the program is `22`, then the output should be `'twenty-two'`.
10-
11-
Your program should complain loudly if given a number outside the blessed range.

### Extension
23-
24-
If you're on a Mac, shell out to Mac OS X's `say` program to talk out loud.
25-
If you're on Linux or Windows, eSpeakNG may be available with the command `espeak`.
26-

## Step 2
28-
29-
Implement breaking a number up into chunks of thousands.
30-
31-
So `1234567890` should yield a list like 1, 234, 567, and 890, while the far simpler `1000` should yield just 1 and 0.
32-
33-
## Step 3
34-
35-
Now handle inserting the appropriate scale word between those chunks.
36-
37-
So `1234567890` should yield `'1 billion 234 million 567 thousand 890'`
38-
39-
The program must also report any values that are out of range.
40-
It's fine to stop at "trillion".
41-
42-
## Step 4
43-
44-
Put it all together to get nothing but plain English.
45-
46-
`12345` should give `twelve thousand three hundred forty-five`.
47-
48-
The program must also report any values that are out of range.
8+
- 0 → zero
9+
- 1 → one
10+
- 12 → twelve
11+
- 123 → one hundred twenty-three
12+
- 1,234 → one thousand two hundred thirty-four

# Introduction
2+
3+
Your friend Yaʻqūb works the counter at the busiest deli in town, slicing, weighing, and wrapping orders for a never-ending line of hungry customers.
4+
To keep things moving, each customer takes a numbered ticket when they arrive.
5+
6+
When it’s time to call the next person, Yaʻqūb reads their number out loud, always in full English words to make sure everyone hears it clearly.
