i want to create a program that would translate number to words from 1-1 billion
this is how i started:

package app.runner;


import javax.swing.*;
public class EnglishNumberToWords{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        int inputNumber=0;
        String oness[]={"one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine","ten","eleven","twelve","thirteen","fourteen","fifteen","sixteen","seventeen","eighteen","nineteen"};
        String tens[]={"ten","twenty","thirty","fourty","fifty","sixty","seventy","eighty","ninety"};
        String answer="";
        String calculate="";

        inputNumber=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"PLease Enter a Number: "));

        int billion=inputNumber/1000000;
        int billion2=inputNumber%1000000;
        int billion3=billion*1000000;

        int million=billion2/100000;
        int million2=billion2%100000;
        int million3=million*100000;


        int libo = million2/ 1000;
        int dalawalibo =million2 % 1000;
        int tatlolibo=  libo * 1000;

        int daan = dalawalibo / 100;
        int dalawadaan = dalawalibo % 100;
        int tatlodaan=  daan * 100;


        int ones=dalawadaan/10;
        int isa2=dalawadaan%10;
        int isa1= ones*10;

        if(inputNumber >=0 && inputNumber<=19){
            calculate=oness[inputNumber-1];
            if(inputNumber>=10 && inputNumber<=19){
                calculate=oness[inputNumber-1];
            }
        }

        else if(inputNumber >=20 && inputNumber<=90){

            calculate=tens[isa1];
        }
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,calculate);

    }
}

it says array out of bounds exception at line number 45
please guys check my work.. :)
thank you

Looks like isa1 has a wrong value. Use print statements throughout your code to print the key variables so you can see where it's going wrong.

Well.It takes time to be learned,But i must...

May be u get some idea from here....

i think im encountering errors on your code there are things that i do not understand
if (num <= 0) System.out.println(\"Zero or Negative number not for conversion");`
whats the purpose of "\" on the println?

It's a mistake.
ps: You should be writing your own rather than copying someone else's - that's not an especially good version of this application anyway.

yes im not copying it :) im just trying to test it and i do not copy codes i figured that its better to get a failing grade tan to have high grades without good effort that why i noticed that there were errors on the code because i tried to run it on eclipse!

OK. That's good.
