/* 
Problem 2: You are asked to implement an automated number-to-language translation system for a phone com- pany. Write a C program that receives as an input an integer number and converts each digit of the number to an English word. The integer number can be of any length.

Sample program execution:
Please enter your phone number: 2345769854 two three four five seven six nine eight five four
*/

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{

  int numbs;
  char ZERO,ONE,TWO,THREE,FOUR,FIVE,SIX,SEVEN,EIGHT,NINE,TEN;

  printf("Give a number to be converted: ");
  scanf("%3d", &numbs);

  switch (numbs) {
    case 0:
      printf("ZERO\n");
      break;

    case 1:
      printf("ONE\n");
      break;
  }

  return (0);
}

/* consider your what you're doing... in plain english:

Your program: "Hey user, give me a number"
Your user: "Okay, here's '12345'"

Your switch statement then says, "Does the number equal 1? Nope.  Does it equal 2? Nope" etc.  

You need to take the input and split it up into single digits first, then do the comparison.  

*/

Aha! Take out a piece of paper. Pretend I gave you the number "12345", and fill out the following table for each iteration through the loop

rem    | numbs 
----------------
5        12345 

That's the setup before you enter the loop, you do the rest and see if you can pinpoint the mistake.

Just a heads up (so you don't think I just decided to bail after the homework deadline, because I am definitely not doing that!), I had a physics exam yesterday and a Diff Eq exam today, so either later tonight or tomorrow I'll get back to work on this! :)

Cool [= Glad to hear it. Let me know if you make any progress or get stuck anywhere or have any questions.

Oops! Totally forgot to check back on this with you; I ended up asking a bunch of questions during our 3 hour lab in this class (like three days after doing all this with you) and figured everything out completely. Thanks again though man! :D

No worries. What was the solution?
