# 16.8. English int
## Given any integer, print an english phrase that describes the integer
> example:
* input = 1234
* output = "one thousand two hundred thirty four"
## First idea
Two tasks here, 1. int to char, and 2. int to thousand/hundred thirt(y) whatever. what about 11, 12, 35?
```python
inttochar = {
1: "one",
2: "two",
3: "three",
4: "four",
5: "five",
6: "six",
7: "seven",
8: "eight",
9: "nine"
}
inttodec = {
10: "ten",
11: "eleven",
12: "twelve",
3: "thir",
5: "fif"
}
inttoext = {
1: "teen",
0: "ty"
}
```
This isn't a difficult problem, it's just cumbersome and long to make good-looking code.
