How do I convert an integer to the corresponding words in objective-c?

by

Apple has a lot of handy formatting functionality built in for many data types. Called a “formatter,” they can convert objects to/from string representations.

For your case, you will be using NSNumberFormatter, but if you have an integer you need to convert it to an NSNumber first. See below example.

NSInteger anInt = 11242043;
NSString *wordNumber;

//convert to words
NSNumber *numberValue = [NSNumber numberWithInt:anInt]; //needs to be NSNumber!
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle];
wordNumber = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:numberValue];
NSLog(@"Answer: %@", wordNumber);
// Answer: eleven million two hundred forty-two thousand forty-three
