hi, i need urgent help with my code. My program, which converts word strings to its number equivalent, only works with special cases.
Example: "nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine" outputs 999999. (which is correct.) But try inputting "nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine", it outputs 108001899 or "one thousand one hundred twenty five" gives 26100. Range is from -999,999,999 to 999,999,999. I'm still working with negative inputs though. And I think I might've just forced 999999 case to work by adding the "if(i==5)" part. HELP!

I need to hand this program over by tomorrow afternoon and still stuck with the bug. all comments/suggestions/troubleshooting will be appreciated. thanks
