Re: Re: Convert a number (for example 404) into a string ("four hundred four")

I've looked for that on the internet and I think not, because on the Internet I found the following meaning of 'and':

People use 'and' to seperate a bigger money unit from a smaller one (I.E. dollar from cent) and then 'four hundred AND four' would be: $400.04 :)

Well I just double checked with my Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" CD and they use "Six hundred and sixty-six" for 666. :P	[reply]

'four hundred AND four' would be: $400.04 no it wouldn't. When specifying two units of currency, both have to be specified: $400.04 Four hundred dollars and four cents $404.04 Four hundred and four dollars and four cents $4.04 four dollars and four cents. "Four hundred and four" could only be interpreted unambiguously as $404. Or "page not found', it depends on the context `:)`	[reply]
