Hi, to everyone.‎

My program to make program to write the application the input ‎a dollar amount to be printed on a cheque, and then prints the ‎amount with eleven position number are available for printing ‎the cheque. And need to run the word equivalent of the cheque ‎amount e.g.: the amount 123.30 should be written
One hundred twenty three dollars and thirty cents ‎

My problem I don't know how to make to run the number to ‎the word equivalent of the cheque amount. Like this
The amount 123.30 should be written as One hundred twenty three dollars and thirty cents ‎

‎ This is my code:‎

import javax.swing.*;‎
‎/**‎
‎ * <p>Title: </p>‎
‎ * <p>Description: </p>‎
‎ * <p>Copyright: Copyright (c) 2005</p>‎
‎ * <p>Company: </p>‎
‎ * @author not attributable‎
‎ * @version 1.0‎
‎ */‎
public class Cheque
‎       {‎
‎        public static void main (String [] args)‎
‎        {‎
‎          String Q = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please ‎Enter the Account..");‎

‎          int l;‎
‎          int nn=0;‎
‎          int t=0;‎
‎         for (int x=1 ; x<=Q.length() ; x++)‎
‎         {‎
‎           if (Q.length() < 12) {‎
‎             l = Q.length();‎
‎             t = l - 12;‎
‎             nn = t * ( -1);‎
‎           }‎
‎       }‎
‎         System.out.println(  " "+Q +"$"+" t The Cheque amount ‎‎" );‎
‎        System.out.println( " " + nn+ " t The positon number");‎
‎            }‎
‎        }‎

can anyone tell me how can i do that.Thank you,

Brief, practical plan that ties the existing replies together and fills gaps in implementation and edge cases.

Start by treating the input as money, not as a floating point number — use a decimal type that keeps exact cents, then convert the whole amount to an integer number of cents. Break that integer into dollars and cents (dollars = cents/100, cents = cents%100). Convert the dollar portion by grouping digits in threes (units, thousands, millions, ...). For each three-digit group produce a phrase like "X hundred Y" (with a small routine to handle 0–99 including the 10–19 special cases) and then append the scale name ("thousand", "million", ...). Use constant arrays or enums for unit/teen/tens/scale words as recommended, and refer to for the idea of special handling of teens and tens.

Java-specific notes and a compact pattern for parsing/printing:

  • Parse with BigDecimal and normalize to two decimals to avoid rounding surprises.
  • Convert to total cents with movePointRight(2) and longValueExact().
  • Use a small helper to convert a 0–999 integer to words; iterate groups and join non-empty group words with their scale.
  • Keep pluralization simple: "dollar" when 1, else "dollars"; similarly for "cent(s)".

Example (conceptual) Java snippet for safe parsing and fixed-width printing:

BigDecimal amt = new BigDecimal(input.trim()).setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN);
long totalCents = amt.movePointRight(2).longValueExact();
long dollars = totalCents / 100;
int cents = (int)(totalCents % 100);
String rightJust11 = String.format("%11s", amt.toPlainString());

Troubleshooting and style: validate input (empty, non-numeric, negative), decide on cheque wording style ("and 30/100 dollars" vs "and thirty cents"), handle 0 dollars or 0 cents explicitly, and add unit tests for edge cases (.05, 0.00, 1000000000.00). This gives a robust, legal-friendly output and a clean 11-position numeric field for printing on cheques.

Simple global constants should do.

Take $123.30.

1. First you need to separate the dollars and the cents using the substring method of the String class (see code below).

2. How do you convert a hundreds digit? Just put "Hundred" afterwards:

1xx = > One Hundred xx

3. How do you convert a tens digit? This one is harder.

If the tens digit is 1, then it is easiest to just handle every possible case (11-19) in a big if statement.

11=>"Eleven"
..
19=>"Nineteen"

If the tens digit is a 2 then its always "Twenty" followed by the rest.

21 => "Twenty One"

...

If the tens digit is a 9 then its always "Ninety" followed by the rest.

97 => "Ninety Seven"

4. How do you obtain the digits? After separating the dollars from the cents, use the charAt method of the String class.

Run the code below for a simple example of obtaining the digits:

class NumToWord 
{
	public static void main(String[] a)
	{
		
		//define string
		String text = "123.30";
	
		//find position of decimal in text
		int decimalPos = text.indexOf(".");
		
		//get text before decimal
		String dollars = text.substring(0, decimalPos);
	
		//get text after decimal
		String cents = text.substring(decimalPos+1);
		
		//get last pos in dollars text
		int lastPosInDollars = dollars.length()-1;
	
		//get hundreds digit
		char hundredsDigit = dollars.charAt(lastPosInDollars-2);
	
		//get tens digit
		char tensDigit = dollars.charAt(lastPosInDollars-1);
	
		//get ones digit
		char onesDigit = dollars.charAt(lastPosInDollars-0);
		
		//print
		System.out.println ("The ones digit is " + onesDigit);
		System.out.println ("The tens digit is " + tensDigit);
		System.out.println ("The hundreds digit is " + hundredsDigit);
		
	}
}
